True story...i was at the game at Anaheim Stadium in 1992 when they gave him a beautiful horse saddle. I was there! I had pink eye in both eyes...miserable. I had to be there! 😊
It's amazing to me that Nolan Ryan left a roadmap of what sychonized, full body, kinetic chain mechanics can do in terms of power and longevity, and young pitchers are all getting their velocity from a violent 3/4 arm snap instead.
Today's pitchers need to study Nolan Ryan, not because he throws hard but how he manages the game. Nolan Ryan didn't need a pitch clock, he got the signal and worked fast! I loved Nolan Ryan back in the day but no longer watch baseball because today's game isn't better than the games of years past, it's played differently. I don't think today's pitched are capable of pitching on 3 days rest and going 9 innings much less throw a 9 inning shutout because they get pulled from the game after 100 pitches or 5 innings.
The guy was nasty.. And he didn’t mind throwing 150 pitches.. Early on in his career if the curve was on, it was a possibility… Later on he developed that circle change and if either were on, it was a possibility..
This was the most dominant game he ever pitched and arguably one of the most dominant games ever pitched. Only four ball made it out of the infield. It's also one of the highest pitching game scores ever.
The newscasters obviously never heard of the "don't mention a no-no till it's over" rule. But I don't think there was a jinx Ryan couldn't beat. Love how he just smiled and walked off the mound without the self congratulations. "I've done this before, you know."
The newscasters said how can we turn away now from this? So they kept the cameras rolling until it was a no-hitter. Thank you, NBC channel 5. I watched this newscast live, and later found out that Ch. 5 did not have the broadcast rights to keep showing it, and it cost them $16,000 to do so.
This reporter is jinxing this. He said the last batter was the last batter when he first came through the plate, do these people know the game of baseball. If the batter gets a hit, hit by a pitch, walks or outruns a dropped third strike he would not be the last hitter.
Bullpen catcher for the Angel's. Forget the fastball. His splitter ! The curve was like a sledgehammer. Change up at 90+ falling off the table. Control was his only issue. Phenomenal !
not really sure we will ever see a man again who could throw so hard for so long and actually get better with age by getting more control. Of course his 100 plus mph fastball just dropped to 99-98 in his forties LOL:) infuckingcredible
NO, Ryan upstaged Rickey, Rickey picked up 2nd base or third? and said I am the greatest! it was in the day time. Ryan had his no no at night against a team loaded with stars. Ryan did not need to say I am the greatest. He just showed it.
I saw Nolan pitch in person at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati one night and it was amazing how hard he threw. He was going against Mario Soto who threw very hard himself. Nolan gave up 3 hits that day and Dave Concepcion had 2 of them. The other was a double by Ron Oester. Soto struck out 11 and Ryan struck out 12 . I was sitting just behind the on deck circle and I recall thinking ' MLB hitters have a tough job- no wonder they get paid so much! How many people in the entire planet could do what they do? ' It was a revelation to me. I suddenly realized just how rare the skill set of an MLB player is. Maybe 6 or 7 hundred people in the whole world could do that job
Nolan was born two years before me, and I am thankful I was able to watch him play from the time he broke in with the Mets, to the end of his HOF career. The man was definitely a freak of nature! To throw that hard for that long without injury is mind boggling. Even if you disliked the teams he played for, you had to cheer for Ryan and he deserved the utmost respect from any real baseball fan. More importantly, Nolan Ryan is a great human being.
What amazes me every time I look back and watch these videos is the guy was a big dude!.. lol..
Ryan Express !!!!!
How many no hitter did roid rage Roger have? Exactly

Did you get pink eye from somebody farting on your pillow bare assed?

“ No! Get it In!” - Walter Cronkite
There will NEVER be anyone like Nollie.
Legend
Imagine if the Mets never let him go?
Just one of many records Ryan has that will never be broken.
NBC got in big trouble for doing this.
He also had 12 one hitters, losing 6 of them in the 8th or 9th.
Had 12 1 hitters.
44 years old, 16 strike outs alone is beyond incredible but a no hitter as well at 44 yrs old!!! Are you kidding ME.

The Goat
Still got goosebumps watching it!!
Smoothest pitching motion
He is the original goat decades before the goat moniker started popping up. Your welcome Brady
So, Nolan Ryan had 37 complete games that were either 0, 1, or 2 hitters. Most ML pitchers now won’t have that many complete games in their career.
That was a great BlueJay team he no hit. They had a bunch of all stars
I was there. Still have the ticket.
Jane Mcgerry! I remember that smile from Nolan, never forget it!
This was the most dominant game he ever pitched and arguably one of the most dominant games ever pitched. Only four ball made it out of the infield. It's also one of the highest pitching game scores ever.
3 Balls,2 Strikes, 2 Out, lets go to a Commercial.
Fitting that the last out was a strikeout
What a punctuation mark! Capping his 7th and his last no hitter, with a strike out.
THE GOAT of the baseball mound.
The newscasters obviously never heard of the "don't mention a no-no till it's over" rule. But I don't think there was a jinx Ryan couldn't beat. Love how he just smiled and walked off the mound without the self congratulations. "I've done this before, you know."
And here comes the last batter!.. Smh.. lol..
"even he is feeling a little bit if pressure." good, lady, good.
Nolan had those pitches that got on a batter in a big hurry
Seven no-hitters! Just the thought of that is mind blowing. Do you want to talk about a record that will never be broken? That is it.

INCREDIBLE!

And all the while the fake news cast couldn't wait to go back to continue the CIA brainwashing.
not really sure we will ever see a man again who could throw so hard for so long and actually get better with age by getting more control. Of course his 100 plus mph fastball just dropped to 99-98 in his forties LOL:) infuckingcredible
Pero debe de estar en el salón de fama en cooperstoum
Here it is young man, You ain’t alone.
My Mom had a friend that grew with Nolan and Ruth. Everyone teased Ruth about wanting to be with a guy that just wanted to play ball
I can't believe he's never run for governor of Texas.
He can still throw over 80 mph curveballs wearing a polo shirt and khakis.
I once went to an Angels game to see him pitch, and from the right field bleachers I could hear the ball hit the catcher's mitt...WHOMP!
And Ryan was upstaged by Rickey Henderson stealing his 939th career base on the same night.
NO, Ryan upstaged Rickey, Rickey picked up 2nd base or third? and said I am the greatest! it was in the day time. Ryan had his no no at night against a team loaded with stars. Ryan did not need to say I am the greatest. He just showed it.

She talked right over it. @3:37
7 no no's! And to think just how close this man came to throwing 19 no hitters..........he had 12 one hitters! Think about it.
will never see this again. in todays age most pitchers even when they got their stuff aren’t allowed to pitch complete games
