Monday's Motivation quote was:
"And I'm a believer that you take a negative and turn it into a positive, and as it turned out, it was one of the best things that ever happened to me
-Nolan Ryan (MLB Hall of Fame, 1999)
"And I'm a believer that you take a negative and turn it into a positive, and as it turned out, it was one of the best things that ever happened to me
-Nolan Ryan (MLB Hall of Fame, 1999)
[ 1983 - Nolan Ryan pitching for Houston Astros = public domain image ]
On May 15th of 1973, Nolan Ryan pitched his first of, seven no-hitters during his career. His career last an amazing 27 years and crossed over 4 different decades from the 1960s to the 90s. He was nicknamed 'The Ryan Express' because of his devastating 100-mph fastball.
Monday Mood Buster:
After seeing Nolan Ryan's Hall of Fame plaque at Cooperstown, I learned that Nolan is actually his middle name.
Ryan’s real first name is Lynn.
So, I guess that explains why he was so mean on the mound. ;)
