Hard to tell from the screen but I think that 2nd strike was outside Later a curve that looked like a strike was called a ball I guess two wrongs do make a right

Has anyone noticed Ryan was tipping his pitches?

Comment from : Juan Diego

What a way to record 5000th strike out Against the career stolen base record holder!
Comment from : Min Song

This is real baseball, not this rushed crap we have today
Comment from : Obi Shinobi

I'm 6'8" and 40 years old I pitched through high school Nolan Ryan was my HERO Because of him I only wanted to throw GAS I never learned a curveball or a slider I used to spend HOURS throwing balls against the hay stacks on our farm I started pitching in 3rd grade but my control was so "Wild Thing Ricky Vaughn" I never even got to PLAY pitcher until 8th grade They would always put my in right field I sucked at right field I sucked at hitting But after my growth spurt I was 6'6", 220lbs as a Senior and I could throw in the 90's I never got any college or pro offers because I had bad control when I would throw hard I would have to slow my pitches down to 70mph or so to have any decent control What Nolan Ryan was able to do is the most incredible feat for a Pitcher's career and will never be matched

Comment from : Dylan Thomas

No ones gonna mention strike 2 was a ball by a mile? Well ball 3 was strike 3 so it cancels out

Wasn't Ricky Henderson with the Blue Jays when Nolan Ryan pitched his 7th No Hitter
Comment from : Timothy Kozlowski

W and Laura at 2:40
Comment from : Mark

Heck of an AB by Henderson, actuallythe 0-1 pitch was six inches outside and changed the complexion of the AB The 2-2 curveball might have been strike three, however
Comment from : MD92468

Strike 2 was way outside
Comment from : James Brown

Nolan Ryan was truly a titan of the game Players like that don't exist any more
Comment from : Some Gamer

2:44brDrunk future president
Comment from : ami2evil

You can tell he had that fastball humming that day I bet he was close to 100 that day
Comment from : Thomas Shannon

That second pitch was way outside
Comment from : David Gulik

What a matchup!
Comment from : Pranav Sambamurti

Great ones are timeless Always enjoyed watching him pitch Never be another one like him Strike out king and seven no hitters Both will never be past by a single pitcher
Comment from : Ray Fujimori

I love that it was a fastball and the guy went down swinging 3-2, too
Comment from : Rob

Whatever team Ryan joined instantly became my favorite team
Comment from : Terrance Thomas

Greatness!
Comment from : mafaka smiff

That was not a 2nd strike I like the old school way of Nolan of acknowledging his feat in a very low key way The following pitch which produced a single was in the same location as the 3rd strike
Comment from : Louis Emery

It's even sweeter imo that he did it against a future HOF in Rickey Henderson
Comment from : Paul

considered one of the best pitchers of all time yet never won a Cy Young
Comment from : Recyclops

best ballpark ever we could only afford the bleachers on our elementary class trip i realized the wind gusts from there and told my classmates to shred the napkins from our hotdogs and boylooked like confetti central! good times
Comment from : sierramandtx

Comment from : Bobby Boca

"If you ain't been struck out by him, you ain't nobody" - Rickey Henderson on being Nolan Ryan's 5000th strike out
Comment from : Doctor7474

A foot outside - ump was cheating - Ricky just laughed
Comment from : aine ahmed

Two years later, Rickey Henderson would pass Lou Brock to become the all-time base stealer, on May 1, 1991brbrThe same exact date that Nolan Ryan threw his 7th no-hitter May 1, 1991
Comment from : Great US Treasure Hunt

What an ugly stadium that was
Comment from : Walter Hoenig

He got the “Nolan Ryan outside corner” call in strike 2
Comment from : minnesotajack1

And he didn’t even crack a smile Nothing but ice water in them veins
Comment from : Marcus Valle

Run this stat through your head:brYou'd have to pitch 20 games a season for 20 years striking out 1420 batters a game to pass Nolan Ryan on the strike out list
Comment from : Darrel Eddings

Nolan was the strike out king
Comment from : Kenneth Guilliams

2nd pitch was a ball
Comment from : Britt

Dind't know Rickey Henderson was Ryan's 5000th SO!!
Comment from : Francisco Sanchez-Beristain (SeltenErden)

Hands down the best ballgame I ever went to!
Comment from : Hiker Guy38

Getting it on Henderson is even more impressive
Comment from : Shelton Hull

What a amazing little video Two of the best ballplayers of all time intertwined in a historic moment, as well as a future president Another little time capsule type issue is the time between each pitch, 25, 38, 24, 27 and 26 seconds An average of at least 10 seconds longer than they want today You can see where the game delays were Take 10 seconds off of each pitch and assume that each team throws 120 pitches, that's 1200 seconds per team - 20 minutes per team - of extra dead time

Outside

Comment from : Mark L

Simply amazing
Comment from : QB

The strikeout king vs the stolen base king What a great era of baseball
Comment from : Mizer

Lord what a SLOW GAME And Ryan got Ricky on the curve
Comment from : James DeLap

More impressive than Brady's 600 TD passes He struck out 5,000 by himself Quarterbacks can not put up impressive numbers without the help of his teammates
Comment from : John Matzye

When old ladies stand for you - well, now you know you're good: 2:20

How can you not love this game?
Comment from : jarrod anderson

Handled it with class & he wanted to get on with the game had this happen today there would be a half hour celebration, twerking, instagram live stream & probably being down by four runs!
Comment from : PatientMental

A pitcher would need to get 250 strikeouts for 23 consecutive years, or 300 strikeouts for 19 consecutive years, just to get to 5700 This is one of those records that are untouchable, along with Ripkens consecutive games, Hack Wilson's 191 rbi's, and Pete Roses 4200+ hits or even Tony Gywnns 394 batting average in the modern era ( record is 440 )
Comment from : oof

The best part of this is what didnt happen During the run-up to the fateful pitch, the Rangers Announcer was doing his thing After the strike, he said NOTHING until the next pitch He knew this moment was about Nolan Ryan, not him
