Submissions Bravo, Nolan Ryan! by Harvey Frommer A member of the Society for American Baseball Research more info For baseball fans it was a special time as baseball's greatest moments were trotted out with hype and flourish prior to Game Four of the 2002 World Series . Seeing Nolan Ryan 's seventh no-hitter lauded as a "greatest moment" was an especially moving moment for me. As an author who was privileged to have the opportunity to get to know him and his family while writing "Throwing Heat," his autobiography, I became intimately aware of how he began and what he has accomplished. The life and times of Nolan Ryan is truly the story of the realization of the American dream. He grew up in the small town of Alvin, Texas, and still makes his home there. As a teenager Nolan delivered the Houston Post. In "Throwing Heat," he said, "Some people claimed that I developed my arm throwing the Houston Post. That was not the case. It was a short throw from a car, and I made the throw Back-handed with my left hand wile I steered my '52 Chevy with my right hand. But I did develop the knack of being able to roll and tie fifty newspapers in just about five minutes, and that probably helped me develop strong fingers and wrists." The strong fingers and wrists were part of the reason for Ryan's great success. A tremendous work ethic was another. Nolan had 992,040 votes to rank first among all pitchers on the All-Century team. He was followed by

22. The Baseball Guru - The Greatness Of Nolan Ryan By Rob Olds Nearly a decade after his retirement, and only twoand-a-half years after his inductioninto the baseball Hall of Fame, the name nolan ryan surprisingly draws http://baseballguru.com/articles/analysisrobolds01.html

The Greatness of Nolan Ryan I have been a baseball fan since 1977. The first memory I have of watching baseball on TV was during the World Series that year. The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees , I would later learn as I educated myself on the subject of baseball history, were facing each other in the Fall Classic for the first time since 1963. That year, the Dodgers, behind the pitching of Sandy Koufax Johnny Podres , and Don Drysdale , swept the Bronx Bombers. The '77 Series, however, marked the birth of "Mr. October", as Reggie Jackson slugged three home runs on three successive pitches in Game 6 to clinch the Series for the Yanks. Less than two years later, on July 13, 1979 , I watched the Yankees on Sunday Night Baseball. They were facing a 32-year old fireballer named Nolan Ryan . That night, he nearly threw his fifth career no-hitter without his best stuff. He "settled" for his 7th one-hitter while striking out 9 in a 6-1 victory. It was this type of performance by the Ryan Express that helped him gain the respect of his peers and the adulation of millions of baseball fans all over the country. Every fifth day, fans came to the ballpark to see if Ryan was going to add another milestone to the baseball record books and a notch to his no-hitter belt. Nearly a decade after his retirement, and only two-and-a-half years after his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame, the name Nolan Ryan surprisingly draws the ire of some of his detractors. Just recently, I encountered some baseball "fans" on an Internet message board that expressed their beliefs that Ryan shouldn't be called a "great" pitcher. They also stated that no-hitters weren't "special". All they do, these "fans" stated, was make a good baseball story.

Nolan Ryan Quotations From Nolan Ryan "I can't think of anything more humiliating than losing a ballgame to a guy who steals home on you. It happened to me one time against Kansas City. I had a 2-2 count on the hitter - and Amos Otis broke from third. The pitch was a ball and slid in safe. I felt like a nickel." "It helps if the hitter thinks you're a little crazy." "My job is to give my team a chance to win." "One of the beautiful things about baseball is that every once in a while you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something." Quotations About Nolan Ryan "Everybody is so sensitive, you'd think Nolan Ryan was pitching." - Thurman Munson "Every hitter likes fastballs just like everybody likes ice cream.

Home SEARCH All Categories Good Day Wisconsin News Sports Packers Contests Calendar Health Recipes Money Employment News Ryan Nolan Email Ryan Nolan Ryan Nolan is a reporter for FOX 11 Sports. Before coming to Green Bay, Ryan worked at KWQC -TV in Davenport, Iowa, as a sports reporter/photographer. There he covered everything from minor league baseball, the PGA Tour (John Deer Classic), Bix 7, University of Iowa - Illinois athletics and the Little League World Series. Ryan says that meeting people from all different walks of life and telling their stories is the best part of a sports reporter's job. Prior to working in the Quad Cities, Ryan worked in Durango, Colorado and Farmington, New Mexico. Ryan's parents could not have known at the time of their son's birth that his name would later be confused with that of the Major League Baseball Hall of Famer, Nolan Ryan. Coincidentally, baseball turned out to be Ryan's first love. And of course, he was a pitcher. Ryan grew up in DeForest, Wisconsin, just north of Madison. He played baseball and basketball through high school and went on to play baseball at the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh. Ryan earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree there in Radio/TV/Film. He says it's great to be back in the Badger state and root for the teams of his youth.

John Swart/Allsport By Paul Crane, CNN/SI ALVIN, Texas When leaving Houston to the south on Texas State Highway 288, it doesn't take long to realize this is Nolan Ryan country. Alvin, Texas is where Ryan grew up and still lives, and there are constant reminders everywhere. From city hall to Alvin High School. Ryan, now 52, owns a bank, and is actively involved in the new Nolan Ryan Center which includes his own "hall of fame." Inside, a visitor can follow Ryan's baseball career in the form of momento's and artifacts including uniforms and other equipment from his many years on and off the field. But it is one particular item from his childhood that he fondly remembers, "Well this is one of my favorite items on display here and it's been the last of six kids always had, hand me down stuff," he says pointing to his first baseball glove enclosed in a glass. "And that's the first item I can remember as a kid getting to go and pick out what I wanted."

Nolan Ryan From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Lynn Nolan Ryan, Jr. (born January 31 ) was a professional baseball pitcher for more than a quarter century and still holds many Major League Baseball pitching records, some of which are so far beyond any previous marks that they are likely to stand for many years to come. He was most noted for his blazing fastball and his longevity, routinely throwing 100+ MPH pitches even into his forties. Ryan was born in Refugio, Texas , but his family moved to the Houston suburb of Alvin when he was six weeks old; he has lived there to this day. He developed his dazzling fastball as a high school pitcher in Texas, which impressed the New York Mets enough to draft him in and promote him to the major leagues late in However, Ryan struggled for a number of years and was even sent back to the minor leagues a few times because of his inability to find the strike zone. He didn't make the majors for good until the season, and even then was unable to crack an outstanding Mets pitching staff led by Tom Seaver and Jerry Koosman Ryan did, however, give people a taste of what was to come in the
