4.0 out of 5 stars A good description of a great player that is devoid of unnecessary superlatives, July 2, 2008
This review is from: Nolan Ryan (Baseball Legends) (Library Binding)
As a baseball fan, I watched Nolan Ryan pitch on television several times, once in particular when he was flirting with a no-hitter. That happened many times in his career, the most amazing thing about him was his longevity. Not only in terms of the number of years in the majors, but in terms of the mileage. As a strikeout pitcher, Ryan often went to 3 and 2 counts on batters, so he threw a lot of pitches, more than most other pitchers. Furthermore, in general, his pitches were heat, which takes greater effort to deliver. It is amazing that he was still pitching while in his mid-forties.
In this book, Nicholson does an excellent job in describing the career of this great player. Nolan Ryan was also admirable in his approach to life, never seeming to become full of himself; he was always approachable by fans. I am old enough to remember when Ryan entered the major leagues and followed baseball throughout his career. Nicholson describes him well while avoiding the unnecessary superlatives that other authors seem to feel obligated to use.
