I never faced a pitcher with better stuff than Nolan Ryan. — © Robin Yount
I never faced a pitcher with better stuff than Nolan Ryan.
Big Texas (Nolan Ryan) is here. The reason I like to keep Nolan around is he is a reminder that when we got done with the Sammy Sosa trade, there was still some talent on the Rangers.
And when I retired, trust me, not only did Nolan Ryan, but the entire Ryan family had withdrawals from baseball. And it was tough.
Nolan Ryan is pitching much better now that he has his curve ball straightened out.
Needless to say, I have more no-hitters than Nolan Ryan.
When people ask me, "Who was the toughest pitcher you ever faced?", I have to say that there has never been a pitcher who over-impressed me. That's not meant to be a bragging statement. It's just that I get up for good pitchers.
I wanted to be like Nolan Ryan. I didn't want to be like Pete Gray...And I don't want kids to be like me because I have one hand. I want kids to be like Jim Abbott because he's a baseball pitcher at Michigan and he won the Big Ten Championship game, and not because I can field a bunt and throw to first.
Everybody is so sensitive, you'd think Nolan Ryan was pitching.
What man in his 40s would not like to look in the mirror and find Nolan Ryan?
I guess I'm the only guy old enough to figure him (Nolan Ryan, 1-Hitter Game in 1991) out.
Nolan Ryan helped me with baseball, and my dad passing away gave me a bigger heart.
I think that ultimately when life is not tragedy it should be a party and if you've faced the real stuff, if you've faced the ones closest to you being at death's door, passing on, you know, not to let the small stuff really harsh your mellow, as you put it.
Greg Maddux is probably the best pitcher in all of baseball along with Roger Clemens. He's much more intelligent than I am because he doesn't have a 95 or 98 mph fastball. I would tell any pitcher who wants to be successful to watch him, because he's the true definition of a pitcher.
Anytime a pitcher hasn't faced a hitter, I feel the pitcher has the advantage. The more times the hitter sees somebody, the more the advantage goes to the hitter.
Matt Ryan does a great job of throwing the ball. No quarterback within the 20 to 25 yard range is throwing the ball any better than Matt Ryan.
You don't face Nolan Ryan without your rest. He's the only guy I go against that makes me go to bed before midnight.
Donald Trump said he doesn't care about Paul Ryan's support, he doesn't want Paul Ryan's support, that he might be better off without Paul Ryan's support.
