1974 Topps #277 Gary Nolan
About Gary Nolan
Late in 1974, Nolan returned to Indianapolis and pitched 6 innings in 2 games, finding that his shoulder pain had disappeared. He then threw 45 innings in the Instructional League to build up the shoulder. His 1974 Topps #277 carried Cincinnati, where he had last pitched in 1973.
Gary Nolan was a right-handed Cincinnati Reds pitcher who reached the majors at 18, one year after the club selected him 13th overall in the 1966 draft. In his debut on April 15, 1967, he struck out the side in the first inning against Houston. He finished that season 14-8 with a 2.58 ERA and 206 strikeouts, placing third in National League Rookie of the Year voting. Across ten major league seasons with Cincinnati and the California Angels, Nolan compiled a 110-70 record, a 3.08 ERA and 1,039 strikeouts. He pitched in 250 games, completed 45 and threw 14 shutouts. The Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame inducted him in 1983.
