Nolan Ryan: From Alvin to Cooperstown is a collection of articles and rare photographs from the archives of The Sporting News. With Ryan's 1999 induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, this book is the first to capture his entire career in pictures with the New York Mets ('66-71), California Angels ('72-79), Houston Astros ('80-88), and Texas Rangers ('89-93). Baseball's all-time strikeout leader and the author of seven no-hitters, Nolan Ryan is in many ways the most remarkable pitcher ever to play the game.

This review is from: Nolan Ryan: From Alvin to Cooperstown (Paperback)
This book celebrates Ryan, but look at these numbers:
A terrible batter: .134 slugging avg., awful fielder .895 fielding percentage. Led the league in hit batsmen 6 times, and has the worst career total ever. Led the league in losses once, only once in the top 3 in wins. Allowed the most walks 8 times, career total worst overall. Never led the league in Games Started. Pitched in only 1 World Series game.
