Phillies, NHL & NBA Playoffs & Author Tim Brown on Nolan Ryan, Baseball’s Last Mythic Pitcher

We start the show talking Phillies and close the snow talking NHL and NBA Playoffs. But in between we are joined by Award-winning baseball writer and bestselling author Tim Brown joins the show to discuss Nolan: The Singular Life of an American Original, his definitive new biography of Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan. Brown dives into Ryan’s unmatched longevity, legendary toughness, seven no-hitters, and why modern baseball may never produce another pitcher like him again. The conversation explores Ryan’s deep connection to Texas, the famous Robin Ventura fight, today’s pitch-count era, and the humanity behind one of baseball’s most intimidating figures. It’s a fascinating look at greatness, work ethic, aging, and how Nolan Ryan became both a baseball icon and an American myth.
