OT: Nolan Ryan clocked at 85

by **conversationpc** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 3:19 am

Did anyone else see that Nolan Ryan was clocked at 85mph throwing out the first pitch at a Japanese baseball game? Dude is 60 years old now and his fastball still approaches the average MLB fastball of guys who are more than 30 years his junior.

:shock:

Can he sing ?

Amazing and I'm actually not that surprised.

there is a story that 5 years ago (which would have him still in his 70s I guess) Sandy Koufax was actually clocked @ 90 throwing bp or something @ Dodger Stadium.

Probably not, but he could send a heater straight up Schon's backside. :lol:

Either one of them could come out of the Devil Rays bullpen and put up better numbers than those guys.

The man with the 105/mph fastball knocked down to only 85/mph....I'd say that's DAMN impressive for his age. can't say I'm suprised though. Leave it to a Texas boy. :lol:

85 @ age 60 is flat out GAS.
