Mini excerpt: A waiter took Ryan’s order.
“Excuse me,” he said, “are you Nolan Ryan?”
Ryan looked up.
“Yes, I am."
“What are you doing these days?” the waiter asked. “Are you still playing?”
“Yep,” he said. “Still hanging on.”
Two days before, Ryan had thrown his 6th no- hitter.

He’s been a Mudcat and a Mission, a Toro and a Timber, a SeaWolf, a SkySock and a Sound — and now he’s nearing the all-time wins record. One of my favorite stories ever, on the great Rick Sweet, unlocked and free for all: nytimes.com/athletic/7344721… via @NYTimes

My 36-year run at the Sun-Sentinel is over. Laid off for the first time since I lost my job as an ice-rink skate guard at 17. Cost-cutting move then, they said, too. I'm a month from 65, so please keep any sympathy for my newspaper friends who didn’t make it to the finish line like I have. I’m looking forward to doing some things I want to do so before the hall narrows and the light dims so you might not be completely done with me yet. Thanks to everyone who made it such a fun run.

This is a good man. Keep going, Patrick...
Some bittersweet personal news. I’m leaving The Denver Post, having taken the company buyout. My last game is June 24. Too many people to thank here. I’ll miss so many, but especially @harding_at_mlb. The Adventures of Bonnie and Peaches will continue. Thanks! #Rockies

Nolan Ryan's unique take on the word 'cowboy' inspired a title change for a book, moving away from 'The Last Cowboy' to something that better captured the essence. #NolanRyan #BookTitle @bytimbrown @ibelwetz

Good reads transport us and take us somewhere else for a while. @ByTimBrown does that masterfully with Nolan. Like a great pitching performance, Tim is dialed in throughout, painting the corners and delivering an unputdownable work.

Tim's book on Nolan Ryan is the best baseball biography I've read in a good while. He is also the coolest person I know. You should go meet him. Or get it here: amazon.com/Nolan-Singular-Li…
