The greatest player in the game today takes that same intensity into every at bat and every pitch thrown. When Shohei walked in the WBC final, he yelled out, releasing his intense focus so that he could shift his focus to running the bases. He does the same thing when striking out a batter. At the same time, he tips his cap if he hits a batter and is the most polite player on the field, compromising not a single ounce of his competitiveness. He can run faster, hit farther, and throw harder than 99% who ever played the game. UNREAL!

Ryan got shelled in this game. 7 runs in 5 innings. Joe Niekro was their best pitcher that year.

Pete Rose stood very far away from the plate to the outside of the box. He was basically giving Nolan Ryan the outside. Rose was able to cover the outside due to being such a great hitter at going the other way. He probably never thought the umpire was going to give Ryan that outside strike. Due to a couple of calls early in the at-bat I expected Rose to move up in the box a little bit. He did not and that cost him the at-bat.

You’d assume that a guy who has hit more balls than anyone, that he would most likely be swinging on a full count. He didn’t bite on that fast ball tailing away to the right Pete was the best. He didn’t intimidate you with his power but he had an aggressiveness, intensity and prescience at the plate that was intimidating. He was the biggest battle a pitcher was going to face. He made you work. He used patience because he knew the more pitches he made you throw at him, the more likely he’d get to see a good one.

@@davidharrison3711 Yeah, McKay was incredible, too. Not that any sports announcer would want the opportunity to step into that scenario, but few would have had the gravitas to approach those two...and none would have been better. Feels icky to write "opportunity" and "better", but I'm hoping the tenor of my thoughts come through. Then again, I'm no McKay or Jackson.

Pete Rose with an OBP above .500 with 41 plate appearances vs one of the greatest pitchers of all time. Crazy

Pete Rose is and always will be one of the greatest ball players ever. And to watch these 2 legends play in same game against each other is remarkable

Nolan Ryan deserves a uniform that doesn't look like he works at Burger King.

@@hegemonycricket2182 Exactly. Those uniforms were probly a marketing gimmick maybe got some short lived benefits. To be fair Astros wanted a modern look I get that. It's not easy.

Houston had THE ugliest uniforms back then.

Nolan Ryan is more than a pitcher. He's a great man, business man, family man. He was just a pure powerful talent. I had the privilege of watching him pitch with the Astros. When the ball would hit the catcher's mitt, you could hear it anywhere in the Astrodome. Good stuff.

I've already said it, and I'll say it again. Nolan Ryan is a genetic freak. He certainly is an exception because no one playing now could physically perform what he did in his heyday or in his mid-40s. The legendary Satchel Paige is the only other pitcher in the same league genetically.

Even the umpire helped out, by making home plate extra wide. And, probably, Pete's letters extra high too. Ryan's walk ratio was embarrassing and MLB probably gave him a bigger strike zone as a matter of policy. You do what's good for business, and it's good business to give your superstars and marquee names all the breaks. Over his career, Ryan averaged more than 4.5 walks per nine innings pitched came close to one walk for every two strikeouts. He walked eight batters in one of his seven no-hitters. He never threw a perfect game.

Pete Rose had the smallest strike zone with umps, but Nolan Ryan has seniority and the ump definitely showed that.

Nolan Ryan at 77 years old can still throw heat.

god I LOVED the animated umpires back in the day. especially when Leslie Nielsen mocked their exaggerated calls during The Naked Gun film. 😂

When I used to play youth baseball ⚾ I used Nolan Ryan's pitching motion I loved watching him pitch,even though I always been a Yankees fan much respect!!

Nolan’s muscles and tendons in his arm must of been like steel by this time in his career. Pitching complete games on 3 days rest and still throwing fireballs. We will never see a arm this durable again

This entire playoff year was so awesome. I ditched my homework everyday after school to watch these games. Over in the junior league the Royals were battling the Evil Empire with my sister’s hero George Brett. She had his poster on her wall for many years. I believe this was the first World Series appearance for the Phillies and the Royals. An all astro-turf series. Speed was such a factor. Just a great time before the roid era.

Later in this series rose worked a key walk. He flipped the bat almost like a homer. Most intense at bat ever.

Ryan just has that effortless 3/4 gas. He looks like he changed his arm slots slightly, he could bring it just throwing at 70%, you can tell. Arms like that are taught, they are born.

This reminds me of one time I pitched to a player just like Pete Rose. He was a very good lead off hitter. That didnt worry me. I had one hell of a arm but the other team thought their favorite player could get a hit off of me. They were wrong. He was timing my pitches but that didn't help him because I just hauled back and threw a lot FASTER every time . They couldn't believe it but I truly had a Major league arm. They dumped a whole bucket of water on their buddy laughing that I struck him out. LOL
