1968 All-Star Game ticket has been hand-signed and inscribed in blue felt-tip pen by Nolan Ryan (Rangers, HOF). Autograph has been graded (PSA) 10.
Nolan Ryan, nicknamed "The Ryan Express" pitched for four different teams during his 27 year career: the New York Mets, California Angels, Houston Astros, and Texas Rangers. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999.
Ryan, a hard-throwing, right-handed pitcher, threw pitches that were regularly recorded above 100 miles per hour. The high velocity remained throughout his career, even into his 40s. Ryan was also known to throw a devastating 12–6 curveball at exceptional velocity for a breaking ball.
While his lifetime winning percentage was .526, Ryan was an eight-time MLB All-Star, and his 5,714 career strikeouts rank first in baseball history by a significant margin. Ryan is currently the only major league baseball player to have his number retired by three different teams: the Angels, Astros, and Rangers.
Ryan is the all-time leader in no-hitters with seven, three more than any other pitcher. He is tied for the most one-hitters, with 12. Ryan also pitched 18 two-hitters.
