Baseball cap signed by legendary baseball icon Nolan Ryan!
Lynn Nolan Ryan, Jr. (born January 31, 1947) is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball. He played in a record-tying 27 seasons. Ryan still holds many major-league pitching records, some by such wide margins over previous marks that they will likely stand for many years. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1999.
Ryan, a hard throwing right handed pitcher, threw pitches which were regularly recorded in the 100-mph range, even past the age of 40. The media tagged him "The Ryan Express"
Ryan was an eight-time MLB All-Star, and his 5,714 career strikeouts rank first in baseball history. He leads the runner-up by approximately 1,100 strikeouts. Similarly, Ryan's 2,795 bases on balls lead second-placeby 962—walking over 50% more men than any other pitcher in Major League history.
Ryan is also the all-time leader in no-hitters with seven, three more than any other pitcher. He is tied with Bob Feller for the most one-hitters with 12.
