5,714 strikeouts. That's all you need to hear to understand how great a force this guy was.
Or........7 no hitters! Or.......12 one-hitters!!! Or.......18 two-hitters!!! Nolan Ryan was the most intimidating pitcher to ever play the game. This is one of the 261 paintings I have done as tributes to every player in the Hall of Fame. It is one of the smallest in the collection at 4 inches by 4 inches. I tried to imagine what it must feel like as a batter facing him and when I stand in front of it it strikes an element of fear in me.
Nolan Ryan
