Final something like 21-15. Ranked first at the time. Next week I pitched against USC and they were ranked second. No runs, no hits over three but we were splitting the game and we lost late. Tom House beat us.
Tom House. Caught No 715. Then became, of all things, a QB guru.
Speaking of pitchers, I revisited Nolan Ryans stats. He pitched 27 years. Struck out over 300 hitters at age 42. From 72-80 he averaged 268 IP. 277 Ks and 144 walks a year. In ‘74 he threw 332 innings, struck out 367 and walked 202.
I think he was on a pitch count of about 250.
There have been better pitchers than Ryan. But probably never one more remarkable.
