Episode 34 - Nolan Ryan
09/24/19 • 61 min
We made it to show 34, so we HAD to talk about Mark’s all time favorite player, Nolan Ryan. So many strikeouts, and we recap every one of them! Just kidding, but we do talk about his numerous records, achievements and a couple of Rickey Henderson-related feats. We also talk about the end of a couple of era’s as the regular season winds down as well as some post-season legends who made their debuts this week. Plus, wax pack heroes!

Nolan Ryan for the next generation. Spittin' verses like 99 MPH fastballs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMu1wr7FlCQ&feature=share
We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes. If you've got those Tom Foley or Ernest Riles cards just sitting around you can donate those commons to charity and maybe spark a child's interest in baseball and collecting. Find out more here: http://commons4kids.org/
