His entire speech was 15 minutes thanking everyone that helped him along the way. What a class act!! I went to Cooperstown to watch him be inducted into the hall of fame, something i will never forget.
This is the best hof induction speech of all time. Such graciousness and humility. Plus, Nolan never says "uh" or "um".
Nolan credited Tom Seaver for teaching him how to be a professional ball player. Tom Seaver passed away this week and in his speech he credited Gil Hodges for the same. Tom made it a point to make his teammates better ballplayers and better men.
I grew up in the 70s' in Brooklyn. The gods of sports were Seaver & Namath. Seaver was one if the greatest, but unfortunately wasn't always the nicest guy to the fans. But still one of the greatest. Namath was one of the nicest to everyone, BTW. Just saying.
7 no-hitters....12 one hitters. 1200 more strickeouts than the 2nd guy of all time. The best fireball pitcher ever.
Number one in walks. But he's still one of my all-time favorites. Great Texas fella!
His walk rate dropped significantly in the 1980's when he became more of a complete pitcher. In 14 of his final 16 seasons, he walked fewer than 100 hitters.
This is a true hero. Humble and gracious.
Creditability and integrity.
Young people, take note:
That's pure class up there.
wheelinthesky300 Agreed.
Ryan is still alive you virgin shithead...be careful, you're next to go to Hell
+jesusisnotallright s Don't you say that you city bread shit fuck.
I’ve seen them all over the last 60 years, from Whitey Ford, to Sandy Koufax, who was the most dominant pitcher of all time during the early 60’s, to Marichal, Seaver, Gibson, and Randy Johnson. But when I first saw this raw, fire balling kid from Texas pitch for the Mets i knew he was something special. My initial impression proved to be correct as Nolan became the the most durable and dominant pitcher who ever stepped on a major league pitching rubber. He is truly the GOAT!!
IMO one of the best pitchers ever with an fastball at an epic 170km/h and still holds the record for the most strike outs in MLB history.
The best. If only he could still play we'd all be able to witness pure greatness in the sport again.
Proud Texan!
Best there was. He walked a lot but his strikeout numbers will never be matched.
walks are a part of the strategy, nobody wants to get beaned.
What a presence he had and probably still does.
15:21 I love how he says that
Nolan should run for president, an American sports hero and lovable. He has that douche bag attitude when on the field but is very humble
don't worry we have trump
All hail the King.
Jesus Christ is the King.
Awesome
My great grandfather was John Robert Murff, better known as Red Murff. My granpa whp married his one of four daughters Patricia Murff still to this day talks about going with him when he went to see Nolan Ryan. He says his pitches were wild starting but he knew he had the arm and could learn to control more.
The best pitcher ever.
George Bush at 13:01?
Dan Johnson Yep! good catch! on the far right of the frame.
I wonder why he didn't mention GWB in his speech? Especially when he went into the HOF as a Ranger.
500 record for a Hall of Fame pitcher.
where is Jeff Bagwell's video ?
👍
I was a huge Nolan fan growing up. As an Angel in Anaheim he was the gold standard of pitching. I remained a fan throughout the remainder of his career. He was so popular that fans would come just to see him instead of concern for the outcome of the game. That's how popular he was.
But i must admit painfully, that his speech is boring, dry and lacks personality. His vocabulary is limited and he too often uses the same verbage and phrases. His speech is flat out monotone. On the mound he was a giant. On the podium he's a dud.
