Nolan Ryan: From Alvin to Cooperstown

Nolan From Alvin to Cooperstown is a collection of articles and rare photographs from the archives of The Sporting News. With Ryan’s 1999 induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, this book is the first to capture his entire career in pictures with the New York Mets (’66-71), California Angels (’72-79), Houston Astros (’80-88), and Texas Rangers (’89-93). Baseball’s all-time strikeout leader and the author of seven no-hitters, Nolan Ryan is in many ways the most remarkable pitcher ever to play the game.
