Lot 1024: 1993 Last Baseball Thrown by Nolan Ryan for His Final (324th) Win
ITEM DESCRIPTION

||||||||||||
The end of the line for perhaps the game's greatest pitcher ever. OAL (Brown) ball shows terrific use from the final out recorded by the Hall of Fame Ranger in a four to one win over the Cleveland Indians. Letter of authenticity is from Ron Clark, who was a coach with the Indians for this game. He explains that Ryan "…was injured in his next start in Seattle and never won another game. No one expected this injury to end his winning career. Home plate umpire Dale Scott rolled the ball from the last out to me in the dugout. I had Nolan sign it the next day." Blue ink sweet spot signature is 10/10. An astounding piece worthy of Cooperstown…perhaps you could lend it to them?
