I used to work with a boy from Alvin tx., Nolans home town, he said Nolan would come around and pitch at the little league ball park sometimes. He would pitch to every boy until they got a hit. They could later say they got a hit off Nolan Ryan. Pretty cool.

Notice no one wanted to tackle Bo Jackson in that melee lol.

Nolan was one heck of a player, Robin Ventura turned out all right too.

Baseball could use some of that today. Gotta love and respect Mr. Ryan!

Man that is a great story. We will never know how many young people he inspired to work hard and achieve their dream. Thank you for sharing that one.

I still hear Nolan Ryan's American Standard (HVAC) commercials on the radio. I don't know if that advertisement is used nation wide or just in Texas.
