"Six years after his last no-hitter, Nolan Ryan was still throwing blazing fastballs and pitching like a man 10 years younger. The only difference was, he was now launching his missiles in the National League." - Author Rich Westcott in No-Hitters (McFarland, 2000) |

Fred Schwed, Jr., in How to Watch a Baseball Game (1957) wrote our favorite baseball box score quote, "The baseball box score is the pithiest form of written communication in America today. It is abbreviated history. It is two or three hours (the box score even gives that item to the minute) of complex activity, virtually inscribed on the head of a pin, yet no knowing reader suffers from eyestrain."
