9/28/1974 NOLAN RYAN AUTOGRAPHED AND INSCRIBED BASEBALL ATTRIBUTED TO HIS THIRD NO HIT GAME (PSA/DNA)

Moderately toned L.MacPhail American League baseball signed and inscribed on side panel, "Nolan Ryan 9-28-74 No Hitter vs. Twins". Blue ink signature and inscription range from 7-8 out of 10. The ball shows indicative use including pronounced scuff under the Spalding manufacturer's stamp. Ryan threw his third career no hitter as a member of the California Angels in a game played against the Minnesota Twins. As the game progressed and it became apparent that Ryan may throw a no hitter, the Angels' ball boy Paul Hirsch took the offered baseball out of play from the game. After the game was completed Hirsch had Ryan sign and inscribe the baseball as it appears today. Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA, 1994 handwritten letter of provenance from Paul Hirsch, and copy of the Angels 1974 team photo picturing Hirsch: Ball: VG-EX, Signature: NM
