Two perfect games (Witt and Cone), Nolan Ryan's first no-hitter, 4 World Series and 3 All Star Games—these are the hallmarks of Jim Evans' 29-year career from 1971 to 1999. And he has since operated the world-famous Jim Evans Academy of Professional Umpiring. Evans' first Mid-Summer Classic in '76 saw the NL wallop the AL 7-1 behind HRs from George Foster and Cesar Cedeno, plus triples from Pete Rose and Steve Garvey. This Balfour celestrium, size 9 ring features a patriotic Bicentennial motif with a terrific baseball-on-red-stone top and "EVANS" on the Liberty Bell shank design. NM condition. A Balfour box accompanies.
