I was watching the Houston Astros broadcast vs. the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night, June 14, 2017, and they showed a "Today In Baseball History" as they always do. They showed a stat that happened on June 14, 1974 that I find hard to believe. Nolan Ryan was pitching for the California Angels [now called the LA Angels of Anaheim] against the Boston Red Sox [now still called the Red Sox :-)] and look at this amazing "hard to believe" stat that is circled on the bottom of the following display.
If this is true, Nolan Ryan [pitching in 13 innings] threw 235 pitches. Two hundred thirty five! Today if a starter would throw 235 pitches in two games, you would have to question if the manager was overworking him. To throw that many pitches in one game is mind boggling.
I just have one word for what Nolan Ryan did on this 'today in baseball history': Wow!
