How many wins did Nolan Ryan get in his career?

One of the greatest pitchers of all time & without a doubt, the greatest pitcher of my generation, Ryan holds several modern MLB pitching records such as strikeouts both all time, 5714 & single season, 383 in 1973 as well as career no hitters, 7. Despite all this Ryan never won a Cy Young Award, a World Series Game or pitched a perfect game. He was an 8 time all star & finished in the top 5 of the Cy Young voting 6 times. The closest he came was in 1973 with the Angels when he finished 2nd by 5 1st place votes to Jim Palmer. Palmers numbers that year, 22-9, 2.40 era, 158k in 296.1 innings, 19 complete games & 6 shutouts. Ryans numbers, 21-16, 2.87 era & 383k in 326 innings, 26 cg, 4 sho. Highway robbery if you ask me.


Funny story about nolan Ryan?

I forget the exact names, I tried to look it up but without names my search was fruitless, so take this for what my memory is worth. Nolan Ryan had a really long career and made a lot of friends along the way but one of his best friends was his catcher when he first came up with the Mets. They roomed together and got to know each others tendencies. Years pass and Nolan is with the Angels and his catcher buddy is with the Tigers. Now, Nolan was a good guy but he had his pet peeves. 1. Batters crowding the plate. 2. Sacrifice bunts. Either one, if he was in a bad mood, was a bean-able offense. Well it was a close game, something like 2-0 Angels in the 8th inning. Nolan walked the lead off hitter and quickly stole second. Nolan's old friend was at bat and he got the sign to steal. He quickly backed out of the box and motioned for the catcher to come over. He said something to the effect of "Go tell Nolan I don't want to do this but they're telling me to bunt. Tell him to please not hit me." So the catcher calls time, walks to the mound talks to Nolan for a second, then trots back and squats down. The batter says "Well?" The catcher replied "He said 'Sorry.'" He plunked him in the butt with a meat ball.

No. He had one of the fastest pitches ever, but not the fastest.
