I always wondered what Nolan Ryan thought when he would match up against the Yankees Ron Guidry who could throw 98 mph and stood 5'9" tall and weighed 165 lbs. Did he wonder... "Where does he get his fastball speed from?" Those were great matchups! Ron Guidry 2 time ERA leader 25- 3 1.74 ERA 248 S.O. / 1978 Cy Young Award Well where did the little guy get his fastball speed from? 1975 - 1988 Honorable Mention ______

Request for Mike Schmidt fans: Can you please make a video of his defensive highlights? Everybody who says he’s “the greatest third baseman of all-time” mentions his ten Gold Gloves, but nobody posts any videos of his defense. I’ve seen about 2-3 great (truly great) defensive plays by Schmidt on KZread - 1) somehow nabbing a ball that was deflected off a pitcher’s glove and instantly throwing the runner out at first 2) an insane double play where he stepped on third base while simultaneously backhanding the ball and then throwing a cannonball to first, and … what else is there? Everything I’ve seen shows a lumbering athlete with a wicked arm - is there more? Stats will not bear MJS out as a great third baseman; his legacy will be like Matthews - a great slugger who played third base … unless someone can show some evidence to the contrary. He’s ranked only number 137 in lifetime Fielding Percentage. One thing’s for sure: He could hit the crap out of the ball which is amazing because he seemed to chop downward and hit underspin.

Babe Ruth did not play in the Negro Leagues, neither Josh Gibson in the MLB league. They are different leagues that should be celebrated for what they were, but they were not equal. Equalizing the unequal is ignorant or stupid! Let’s celebrate all these great players not invent new ways of measuring reality! Hypothesis is not reality!

I respectfully disagree, look at this video as an opinion piece that you might read in the newspaper. In fact, this video is celebrating both leagues because it shows that there were players left out of the MLB who deserved to be there! You're right, hypothesis is not reality, but who's to say we can't entertain what could have been? It's only unequal because segregated America made it that way

5,714 career K's and 7 no hitters are both unbreakable records carved in stone. But unfortunately Ryan also holds the record for most career walks which prevents him from being the GOAT. He's is still my favorite pitcher ever and there won't be another one like him. But no CY from a pitcher of Ryan's caliber is mind-boggling and he should have won at least one.

My favorite pitcher of all time is Matt Cain. That poor guy got hosed so many times when it came to decisions to the point he became a verb (Cain'd, aka, get a no decision or loss after going 6+ inning and giving up 2 or less runs). Two years in a row against the A's he went a combined 17 innings, 0 earned runs with a 0-1 record. I think my early awe of Nolan Ryan and my defending of his overall record prepared my for my fandom of Matt Cain. He got 'Cain'd' way before Matt Cain was born.

I'm from Toronto Ontario Canada and every summer my parents made me go live with my aunt who was my mother's older sister in Houston for the whole summer. her and her husband use to take me to watch the Astros at the old Astro Dome. great memories I was excited every time I seen Nolan Ryan and say to myself that's me when I play baseball against my fellow classmates playing baseball. I was the only kid in class picture with a Astros shirt and the rest had Blue Jays sweaters or shirts lol. thanks for this video made my day even brighter and made me feel young again.

It's hard for me to follow exactly what you're trying to say, but I don't believe there's a reason why we can't hypothetically compare Josh Gibson to any other catcher who's ever played this game.

I think it's a stretch to say he was almost forgotten about. For me to explicitly say "he was forgotten about" implies that no one remembered him or talked about him anymore, which isn't true.

I understand why he went to the Reds but the day he did his career took a tumble. Played 145 games his first season there and only once after did he come close to matching that total (144 games seven years later at 37) after seeing 145 or more games six times for Seattle and two seasons cut short by those stupid lockouts and an injury in 1995.
@GizmoBeachКүн бұрын
He went from being a pitcher with talent who couldn't put it together (consistently) into the greatest who ever lived simply by being told hey make sure you can still see the target before releasing the ball and oh take something off that fastball to keep it in the zone. His windup and delivery could be watched ALL DAY and you'd still be hypnotized 24 hours later. Like Yogi Berra said: I understand him winning 27 games...I don't understand how he lost 9. And that was while dealing w/ a serious blood-flow issue for years. The irony of LA winning a Series in their first try after Brooklyn took 55 years (1901-1954...no dice) to win their only Series is...well it's something. Even their crosstown rivals the Giants had far better luck in the Series and even against Ruth's Yanks for a time.

the next great Japanese OF arm could be Chusei Mannami. A lot of NPB fans are saying he has the best arm in RF since Ichiro. 24 y/o half Congolese, half Japanese kid with some boom. He's a walking highlight reel and it feels like he does something in RF every day that doesn't make it into the box score, but does a lot to prevent runs.
