As he suited up for the 1984 campaign, 37-year-old Nolan Ryan embodied longevity. Still with 10 seasons, 2,037 strikeouts and two no-hitters left in his right arm, Ryan was the appropriate spokesperson for this Gillette All-Star Game as display and the endorser of this promotional warm-up jacket. The blue nylon zippered garment (issued by Gillette in exchange for proof of purchase) is signed by Ryan on the left breast in silver marker (“9-10” strength). Accompanying is a point of sale retail ad. The thick cardboard display measures 20-7/8 x 30-1/4” and presents beautifully with two bottom slots to facilitate retail display. JSA cert/sticker.
