Nolan Ryan Athlete Quotations

And when I retired, trust me, not only did Nolan Ryan, but the entire Ryan family had withdrawals from baseball. And it was tough.

My parents played a very big role in my life and as growing up as the last of six children I didn't realize the influence that my parents had on me.

When I went to the New York Mets, I got there at my first stop at 19. And I was overwhelmed by being there, and truly intimidated.

And I can remember walking off the airplane in Houston, coming home from Atlanta, and it probably being the lowest day in my career.

And because of our friendship and Tom pushing me, I think I got in the best shape of my life during the years that I was with the Rangers.
