Ryan lost 24 no-hitters in the 7th inning or later.

The trailers for this have already annoyed me as some of the "re-creation" shots featuring an actor who resembles Nolan Ryan show him in Angels gear with New Era and MLB logos. Totally period incorrect.

Yeah yeah, minor - I get it. But was just the first thing I noticed.

I heard of this only yesterday on the Talk Sports Radio but sadly the One Night Only does not work.
Hopefully it hits the streaming services would love to see it

+1 Would love to see this hit Netflix soon and watch with a remote in my hand - to rewind and watch over and over the beating that Robin Ventura puts on him. ;)

Yah, Ventura's head beat the crap out of Ryan's fist!

Very nice documentary. Lots of info and insights into Nolan the player and Nolan the person. Must see when you have the opportunity.

I really enjoyed it. And so did my wife and friends. I knew he was good over the long stretch and that he piled up a lot of records due to longevity, but what I didn’t realize was how good he was for several 2-3 year stretches, including one stretch after 40. And never a Cy Young. I hope it comes out on a streaming service. Plan to watch again.

I loved watching Nolan Ryan pitch in Anaheim Stadium and I will enjoy seeing this film. Looking forward to seeding it in the future

Honestly, I was a little bored with it...and this comes from a big Nolan fan.


Wish we could see one on Koufax.
