HOFer Lynn Nolan Ryan played in an astounding Major League record of 27 seasons, amassed an MLB record of 5,714 strikeouts, and another MLB record with 7 no-no’s. All tags on the inner band besides the 7-1/8 size tag have been removed. Player number “34” is written in black marker under the brim. Ryan has autographed the outer brim in silver marker rating a 6. Accompanied by an LOA from JSA as well as by two additional LOA’s; one from the “NOLAN RYAN HISTORICAL FOUNDATION” and another from the original owner which states, “The hat is missing all tagging except the size tag. This is how I obtained the hat from the Foundation”. It shows game-use and besides the missing tags appears to have no further alterations of any kind.
