If you're a baseball fan checkout "Facing Nolan", it's a dang good documentary about Nolan Ryan. It is on Netflix.

Thanks for the reminder.
Just watched it. Great seeing the former greats talk about him.
51 Major league records.
Loved this exchange, as the pitching coach went to the mound when he was struggling
"Nolan, how ya feelin?"
"Get the hell off my mound!"

Loved it…statistically better after what? 40 ? What was the stat?
It was crazy. I wonder if maybe he got better control of the curveball? Or just pitched smarter.
If I remember correctly, the most Ks he had against any one player was 39
! Talk about being defeated before you stepped in the batters box!

Great doc. Dude was always someone I looked up to growing up. Never had his skillset though sadly. Absolute flamethrower
