"Neither back spasms, advancing age nor the defending world champion Oakland Athletics could keep the legend of Nolan Ryan from growing even bigger. Back in the American League, the 43-year-old hurler became not only the oldest pitcher, but the first major leaguer to toss no-hitters in three decades when he whitewashed the A's." - Author Rich Westcott in No-Hitters (McFarland, 2000)

Fred Schwed, Jr., in How to Watch a Baseball Game (1957) wrote our favorite baseball box score quote, "The baseball box score is the pithiest form of written communication in America today. It is abbreviated history. It is two or three hours (the box score even gives that item to the minute) of complex activity, virtually inscribed on the head of a pin, yet no knowing reader suffers from eyestrain."
