In his 27-year major-league career, Nolan Ryan regularly fired 100-mph fastballs. He pitched seven no-hitters and struck out 5,714 batters â both records. Now the CEO of my beloved Texas Rangers, the 66-year-old âRyan Expressâ is a baseball legend â a Hall of Fame right-hander who needs no introduction to fans. Nolanâs son Reid Ryan, 41, is a different story. Except for his famous father, the younger Ryan remains relatively unknown. However, the Houston Astros hired him as team president in May, increasing his profile in the Lone Star State.
