This Date in Baseball History – August 15

Nolan Ryan

On August 15, 1993, the man who defined the power pitcher for a generation found himself in the win column for the final time: Nolan Ryan won his 324th game. In 38 days, his arm would finally buckle under the weight of 27 seasons of baseball.

Mick Gillispie told the story of Ryan’s final win – and the September start in Seattle where his arm finally gave way – in the sixth inning of Tennessee’s game with the Huntsville Stars on Friday.
