"Everybody is so sensitive, you'd think Nolan Ryan
was pitching." - Thurman Munson
"Every hitter likes fastballs just like everybody likes ice cream. But you don't like it when someone's stuffing it into you by the gallon. That's how you feel when (Nolan) Ryan's
throwing balls by you." - Reggie Jackson
"He's baseball's exorcist, scares the devil out of you." - Dick Sharon
"If you let him get a head of steam by the seventh inning, you can't hit him. You can't even see him." - Larry Sherry
"It gave me no chance. He just blew it (strikeout number five-thousand) by me. But its an honor. I'll have another paragraph in all the baseball books. I'm already in the books three or four times." - Rickey Henderson
"I wanted to be like Nolan Ryan. I didn't want to be like Pete Gray...And I don't want kids to be like me because I have one hand. I want kids to be like Jim Abbott
because he's a baseball pitcher at Michigan and he won the Big Ten Championship game, and not because I can field a bunt and throw to first." - Jim Abbott
"I was just in the right place (strikeout number three-thousand) at the right time." - Cesar Geronimo
"Nolan (Ryan)
says throw it high because amateurs get out there, no matter how good they are, and throw it in the dirt. You get more of an 'oooooo' if you heave it over the head instead of going with the fast breaking deuce into the dirt." - President George Bush
"(Frank) Tanana
and Nolan (Ryan), two days of crying." - Saying describing Angels pitching
"You don't face (Nolan) Ryan
without your rest. He's the only guy I go against that makes me go to bed before midnight." - Reggie Jackson
