Lynn Nolan Ryan "Express" Jr.
The Ryan Express: Nolan Ryan pitched in the Major Leagues for 27 seasons. He struck out more, walked more, hit more batters than any pitcher in history. And it wasn't even close. He did things that were beyond unprecedented..at his age or any other. And if you wanted to know what baseball fans thought of him..he got more votes than ANY pitcher who ever played the game in the 1999 All-Century Team poll. Oh...and 98% of the writers voted in his 1st year of eligibility for The Hall of Fame, Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
