I don’t think we’re ever going to see another Nolan Ryan, or anyone even close to his ability!

And after this documentary he still had one more No hitter left in him. Unbelievable.

The fact that a once in a lifetime athlete like Bo Jackson speaks of  Mr. Ryan this way, says it all. Nothing like "The Express". Phenomenal.

"Nolan Ryan knocked the door down, and he went clear through the building and kicked the back door down."  LOL awesome.

I tell my dad if he’s ever complaining about being old- you lived in the 60s, 70s 80s and 90s. The best decades. And you had Nolan Ryan. You old guys had the best of everything so be happy about it.

Greatest Texas Athlete of all time

In 1987 my mother-in-law from the Philippines had just arrived in Texas and we were watching Nolan Ryan pitch against the K.C. Royals on T.V. and I told her that Nolan Ryan was the best pitcher in all of baseball history.  After watching in silence for 45 minutes she suddenly remarked, "He's not so good, he isn't letting anyone hit the ball!"  I literally fell off the couch laughing so hard I couldn't even respond to my wife as she yelled at me for laughing at her mother.  Nolan Ryan struck out 14 Royals including the rookie Bo Jackson FOUR times!!! I believe it was in April at the time and Bo Jackson's batting average entering the game was an astounding 410.  Welcome to the majors sonny!!!

That opening song was lit

...and there was one 7th No-Hitter.

Seven no hitters and twelve 1 hitters and 5700 strikeouts. Records that will last until the end of time

One thing about Nolan was his longevity. He played for that long while mostly throwing complete games!! Imagine if he played today only going 6 innings each game. He could have probably played for 40 years 😂

Suffering Angel Fans in the 70’s knew we were watching a Rare Athlete. On “Nolie Nights”, when he started, the crowd, usually 2 or 3 times larger, would get treated to his greatness! He was modest, proud, & Awesome. It was wonderful having our own HERO!

Clearly, a new Nolan Ryan Documentary should be made...

As an 80’s baby…THIS is what I wanted when I entered his name into YouTube.
TAKE ME BACK!

My grandpa got this tape for Christmas. I always watched it with him.  Nostalgia is strong with this one.

I've seen this probably 80-90 times, at least when I was a kid. Was one of my most favorite tapes I had. 2022 and I've still got the tape at home.

Made it to the Hall of Fame in 1999!!

IN THE GLORIOUS STATE OF TEXAS,   ENGLISH AND SPANISH   2 GREAT LANGUAGES!!!!

This kind of music was everywhere back then and hearing it now triggers terrible tv music from the 80s and 90s ptsd

I DIG HIS CARELESS TEXAS DRAWL!!!!!     I WOULD HAVE  LOVED TO HAVE MET THIS COOL DUDE!!!!
