| The most dominating strikeout pitcher of all time, "The Ryan Express" racked up the K's for an unparalleled 27 seasons. With an intimidating fastball that hovered around 100 MPH and a second to none work ethic, Ryan was able to stay on top of his game and on top of hitters in both the American and National leagues. This 8-time All-Star and member of the 1969 World Series Champion Mets team totaled 324 wins and finished his career with a MLB record 5,714 strikeouts, which included a single season record of 383 K's. He also pitched an unbelieveable 7 no-hitters, in addition to 12 one-hitters and finished with 61 total shutouts. Ryan was a first ballot Hall of Famer in 1999. This framed 16x20 photo that displays the type of competitor Nolan was (he continued to pitch after taking a line drive off the bat of Bo Jackson in the face) is signed by Ryan and comes with a certificate of authenticity. |
