Nolan Ryan played for a record-setting 27 years and still holds many major league pitching records, some of which are so far beyond previous marks they are likely to stand for years and generations of pitchers to come. He was most noted for his blazing fastball and his longevity, routinely throwing pitches exceeding 100 mph, even into his 40s. Inside the front left tail of this jersey is the ""Goodman & Sons"" manufacturer's tag with wash instructions, and jersey size ""44"" on it. Across the front of the jersey is ""ASTROS"" in navy blue on white tackle twill. On the back is the player number ""34"" in navy blue on white tackle twill. Across the back is ""RYAN"" in navy tackle twill on a white nameplate. The jersey is autographed on back in black maker and rates an 8. The jersey shows nice game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. The autograph is accompanied by a LOA from James Spence Authentication.
