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.
Did Nolan Ryan ever throw a 200 plus pitch complete game?
No. No pitcher has ever thrown 200 pitches in a game. The record is 177, by Tim Wakefield. In 1963 Marichal reportedly threw 227 pitches and Spahn threw 201 pitches. This was a sixteen inning game .. both pitchers go the distance. In 1974 Ryan threw 235 pitches against the Red Sox in a thirteen innning game. He struck out Cecil Cooper six times. Ryan also walked ten batters.
