Description
1987-88 Nolan Ryan Game Worn Houston Astros Jersey. The Astros didn't use year tags during this era, but our experts have narrowed the potential range of this important gamer to the two seasons listed in our lot title, making that determination based upon the tight spacing of the "Astros" lettering on the chest and the relative position of the Lone Star below, along with the absence of sleeve patches or any indication of removal. "Ryan 34" is properly applied to verso, and the lower left front tail bears a "W.A. Goodman & Sons [size] 44" tag--veteran collectors will know that Ryan favored this brand rather than "Russell" jerseys that most of his teammate wore.Check the stat line and you'll find that the Hall of Famer was still dominant as he reached and passed his fortieth birthday, leading the National League in 1987 with a 2.76 ERA and 270 strikeouts. He'd top the Senior Circuit in 1988 as well with 228 K's.
A key trait we find in this representation is Ryan's preferred tailoring specifications of extra length and a slim taper--the problematic jerseys that populate the hobby tend to be short and boxy. Game wear and laundering are evident. A very fine specimen from the owner of two of the most unbreakable records in the sport. LOA from Heritage Auctions.
