Ryan’s story should be told and celebrated for decades. He’s as old school as it gets, but I have a feeling young baseball fans, even ones who never got to see him pitch live on television, will get a kick out of this.

The fastest pitch in baseball was 105.1 mph, thrown in 2010. MLB's pitching GOAT, Nolan Ryan, threw a blazing 100.8 mph heater for 27 years and set an incredible amount of untouchable records. A heartwarming tale of a modern-day baseball Paul Bunyan.

Facing Nolan accurately captures a time in baseball history. When it is does go into juicier details, it is not the kind of stuff that drives today’s clickbait world. Even Ryan’s most YouTube friendly moment is just another part of his story.

Baseball purists should really enjoy this dive into one of the greatest pitchers ever. The numbers alone will initiate enough wows to put the modern game in context but each pitch is a treasure if Ryan was not in your 온라인카지노추천 market.

“Facing Nolan” is a solid sports biography, old-fashioned in its lack of scandal or flash. It’s not revelatory, but that’s largely by design – Nolan Ryan simply was who he appeared to be...You couldn’t make him up, so it’s a good thing he’s real.
