It was a doubly historic day for baseball as Rickey Henderson broke Lou Brock's stolen bases record on the same day.
Ryan also threw a no hitter on 6/11/1990 vs. Athletics at 43 years, 131 days old. He struck out 14 and walked 2 on 130 pitches.
3 more players have thrown no-hitters after the age of 40.
