I faced Nolan Ryan only a few times in my career He pitched to me in 8 games and I had 2 home runs, 4 hits, 1 walk, and struck out 8 times. This video is from a game we played against each other in 1991 when I was playing for the A’s and he was on the Rangers. Nolan will go down as one of the best pitchers to ever play the game. #baseball #mlb #baseballism #nolanryan #josecanseco #texasrangers #oaklandathletics #pitcher #throwback

Get these next three guys out and if your fingers are still numb, we’ll run some Maxwell House down to the bullpen to sober up a reliever.

Nolan Ryan in MVP Baseball 2004 was basically a cheat code. 99 velocity. A fastball that looked like it teleported. And if you faced him on higher difficulty? Good luck even touching the ball. ⚾🔥 Using Nolan Ryan in that game felt like stepping on the mound with 7 no-hitters worth of intimidation. If you saw Ryan on the mound, you already knew what time it was: 10+ Ks and absolute misery for the opposing lineup. Who else remembers dominating with Nolan Ryan in MVP Baseball 2004? 👀 #Pitching #BaseballGame #EaSports #MLB #NolanRyan

This is one of the most iconic milestones ever reached on a mound. Nolan Ryan enters the moment sitting at 4,999 strikeouts—already untouchable—and then delivers history with number 5,000. Searches like “Nolan Ryan 5000 strikeout,” “Ryan milestone pitch,” and “most strikeouts MLB history” stay huge because no one else has even come close to that mark. What makes it legendary is the buildup. Everyone knows what’s coming, the tension rises with every pitch, and then he finishes it the only way he knows how—with another strikeout. It’s the perfect ending to a number that represents decades of dominance. Fans searching “MLB records,” “greatest pitchers ever,” and “Nolan Ryan highlights” love this because it’s not just a stat—it’s a symbol of longevity, power, and consistency. It fits into “MLB history,” “unbreakable records,” and “legendary moments,” proving that 5,000 strikeouts isn’t just a milestone—it’s a level nobody else has reached.

Randy Johnson wore #34 the first time he hit 300 Ks in a season. A nod to Nolan Ryan.

The Mets gave up on Nolan Ryan's "wandering fastball" at 24. He pitched 22 more seasons and became the greatest strikeout artist who ever lived. #VintageBaseball #NolanRyan #Mets
