* Old Ryan bio looses little speed

March 21, 2009

The Baseball Reflections blog (“where Old School baseball meets Sabermetrics”) posted this review of Miracle Man: Nolan Ryan, The Autobiography (Macmillan 1993).

Upshot:

Ryan touches on many different aspects of baseball and life throughout the book and the fact that he wrote it while he was still in the middle of his career gives readers a perspective on his situation that they probably wouldn’t be able to get out of him today. He has a view of the game that is truly unlike any that players currently in the majors have, and if one thing was prominent in the book, it was how much he appreciated his fans and how much he wanted to perform his best when he was at home.
