Where's Nolan Ryan when you need him?
HE was my all-time favorite athlete, my "sports hero". Immense talent, minimal flash, all the class in the world. I think I mentioned this in another thread, but do you remember the day Rickey Henderson broke Lou Brock's stolen base record? They stopped the game, Rickey pulled the base out of the field, held it above his head, and declared himself to be the greatest of all time.
That night, Ryan went out and threw his 7th no-hitter. After the game, he just walked off the field and tipped his cap to the crowd.
