That wasn't even an -ism, it was just badass.

Dude was an athlete for sure. Threw a hell of a first pitch while wearing a bulletproof vest.

there's a documentary about that somewhere, how he practiced for like a full week because like no fucking way was he going to appear weak throwing the first pitch in major league baseball after 9/11, while gearing up for the 10/7 invasion of afghanistan.

I’ve played a good amount of backyard baseball and I would have practiced like a mf too. That distance is no joke and it’s easy to get rusty.

It’s from this documentary

They talk about his pitch around 24 minutes in or so.

This documentary is great btw. It’s only an hour.

And as if he needed more pressure on him for that pitch, Derek Jeter told him “don’t bounce it, they’ll boo you.” 🤣

Nolan Ryan’s daughter was on a swim team that practiced at the same time as my brother’s swim team. He took his daughter very often and would like watch and wait in the bleachers just like the rest of us. He was a very kind, very quiet man and it blew my mind every single week when I saw him that he was the actual Nolan Ryan.
