Grew up In Anaheim in the 70's watching him, not really appreciating what we were witnessing. Pitching was way different back then. We had 4 starters, Nolan, Clyde Wright, Rudy May and Bill Singer (later Frank Tanana) and they just went out there every 4th day and STAYED out there come hell or high water! The bullpen was just a bunch of rubber arms, there were no "specialists". No 8th inning guy, set-up guy, long or short relief guy, and definitely no closer! Many times the game would be 10-1 in the 8th inning and the starter was still out there getting rocked!

If I had a team playing the 7th game of the World Series, and could have my pick of any pitcher in MLB history, knowing beforehand they'd have their best stuff that day, Nolan Ryan would be alone at the top of the list. When he was on, he was the most dominating pitcher I ever saw. I felt sorry for the hitters, especially when he pitched against us!!!

One of the main complains was him not being consistent. He did have 90 something starts that were really bad, 5 runs or more but in those other 680 starts his ERA was 2.49 and over 4600 innings....if he had just 50 bad starts instead of those 90 something he likely be the best pitcher of all time.

You are probably right. No manager is letting a pitcher throw 332 innings in a season, those days are long gone. Max Scherzer is the only other pitcher who would have had an outside shot based on his season to season pace but he didn't really start his career going until age 24 and who knows at age 38 how much longer he will pitch for.

He got enough run support most of the time. What killed him was those 4-5 free passes he gave up every game. Leading the league 8x in BB doesn't help. It would have been even more had they not cut his starts way down. He walked more batters than anyone in history. In fact there isn't even anyone close. His closest contemporary, Steve Carlton, walked about 1000 fewer ... no telling how many games that lost him
