Greg Meyers leading things off bottom of the fifth inning against Nolan Ryan. Nolan Ryan, first ballot Hall of Famer, and holder of 51 Major League records. Ryan throws a fast ball right on by him. Now, I'm a bit confused why you'd open a movie on him with the second to last start of his career. Shouldn't we start with something a bit more dramatic? Like one of his famous no-hitters? Maybe a World Series win. Or maybe that famous scuffle he got into. Not the fifth inning of some no-stakes affair in Anaheim. I mean this Big Tex, The Express. Why are we watching him face off against a career .255 hitter? Not to get too deep into numbers, but like baseball, to understand old Noley, you gotta know his numbers. Numbers like 7, 383, 100.9

Greg Meyers
leading things off bottom
00:00:02.697 --> 00:00:04.394
of the fifth inning
against Nolan Ryan.
00:00:06.266 --> 00:00:09.051
Nolan Ryan,
first ballot Hall of Famer,
00:00:09.001 --> 00:00:12.141
and holder of 51
Major League records.
00:00:12.185 --> 00:00:14.404
Ryan throws a
fast ball right on by him.
00:00:14.084 --> 00:00:16.319
Now, I'm a bit confused
00:00:16.363 --> 00:00:17.973
why you'd open a movie on him
00:00:18.999 --> 00:00:20.671
with the second to last
start of his career.
00:00:21.194 --> 00:00:23.762
Shouldn't we start with
something a bit more dramatic?
00:00:24.023 --> 00:00:25.676
Like one of his
famous no-hitters?
00:00:26.852 --> 00:00:28.549
Maybe a World Series win.
00:00:30.029 --> 00:00:33.119
Or maybe that famous
scuffle he got into.
00:00:33.859 --> 00:00:37.558
Not the fifth inning of some
no-stakes affair in Anaheim.
00:00:37.601 --> 00:00:41.388
I mean this Big Tex,
The Express.
00:00:41.431 --> 00:00:43.607
Why are we watching him face off
00:00:43.651 --> 00:00:46.349
against a career .255 hitter?
00:00:47.307 --> 00:00:49.057
Not to get too
deep into numbers,
00:00:49.613 --> 00:00:52.138
but like baseball, to
understand old Noley,
00:00:52.181 --> 00:00:53.835
you gotta know his numbers.
00:00:54.749 --> 00:00:56.838
Numbers like 7,
00:00:56.882 --> 00:00:58.361
383,
00:00:58.405 --> 00:01:00.407
