Clotworthy's included letter advises that this is a ball that Ryan pitched and was fouled down the first base line, where he retrieved it. When Ryan's feat was complete, he wisely passed the ball around to the celebrating Angels, including the man of the hour. The twenty-three signatures appearing on the well-worn OAL (Cronin) ball average 8/10, and Clotworthy's own writing over the stamping reports, "No Hitter 1973 N. Ryan, Angels vs. Tigers." A first--and quite possibly last--chance to own a game used sphere from Ryan's greatest performance. Letter of provenance from Tiger Stadium batboy as well as a full Letter of Authenticity for the autographs from PSA/DNA.
