Ryan got better as he got older.......without steroids. He also pitched 14 two-hitters. His Mets years were his worst.
Randy Johnson was great. Can you imagine a 6-10 pitcher getting ready to throw a 100 MPH fastball at you? Scary. He’ll be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, this year.
The reason Ryan had such a long career, is that he started out in the Mets’ bullpen, so he didn’t throw too many innings in his early years.
