Nolan Ryan at the age of forty-three years, four months, and twelve days became the oldest pitcher in major league history to throw a no-hitter. This particular no-hitter, his sixth, was quite meaningful as illustrated above and little did he know that he would break his own record just a year later.

"What makes that one so meaningful was that it came so late in my career and so much time had elapsed between my fifth and sixth."- Nolan Ryan

Did you know that Nolan Ryan is the only pitcher to throw a no-hitter for three different teams (California Angels, Houston Astros, and Texas Rangers)?

Nolan Ryan was making just his second start after being on the disabled list for three weeks and when he tossed the gem, he became the first pitcher to hurl no-hitters in three different decades!

Who holds the record for longest time between two no-hitters? Nolan Ryan who tossed his fifth on September 26, 1981 and this one on June 11, 1990!
