Pro Baseball Player From Bangor Portrays A Young Nolan Ryan In New Documentary

Bangor native Justin Courtney, a pitcher for the minor league baseball team the Brooklyn Cyclones, has played pro ball for two years, after four years spent pitching for the University of Maine Black Bears. But now, the 25-year-old athlete has another skill he can add to his resume: film actor. Courtney can be seen in the upcoming documentary, “Facing Nolan,” about legendary Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan, portraying Ryan when he was a young superstar in the late 1960s and early 70s, playing for the New York Mets and California Angels.
