NOLAN RYAN RUMORS & GOSSIP
The True Red and Blue: Lisa

Any player/Any era: Nolan Ryan
What he did: I always thought Nolan Ryan got screwed playing nine seasons on the Houston Astros. That's what I used to think at least, looking at years like 1987 when Ryan led the National League with a 2.76 ERA but finished 8-16. Certainly, those Astros went 76-86 and scored two runs or less in about half of Ryan's starts with him going 1-13 in those games. But there'...

The Texas Rangers banked on relationships being their No. 1 drawing point to lure free agent right-hander Roy Oswalt.

Astros add J.R. Richard to Walk of Fame
In his day, the late '70s, he was among the most dominant pitchers in baseball.

Yankees miss Gardner more than you think
If you asked Nolan Ryan – both as a pitcher and as president of the Rangers – he would most likely say it’s a BS-number to look at, but to just about everyone else around the game of baseball these days, pitch count has become something like the National debt. As Yankee fans we need look no further than the ever-present YES scoreboard box. This, in the minds of the television...

Rangers are everything Astros aspire to be
HOUSTON It almost felt like Nolan Ryan was taunting beleaguered Astros fans, mashing their collective faces in the remnants of the club's egregious decision to eschew re-signing him following the 1988 season.
