Box Score of Nolan Ryan No-Hitter (Sixth)

Nolan Ryan at the age of forty-three years, four months, and twelve days became the oldest pitcher in major league history to throw a no-hitter. This particular no-hitter, his sixth, was quite meaningful as illustrated above and little did he know that he would break his own record just a year later.

"What makes that one so meaningful was that it came so late in my career and so much time had elapsed between my fifth and sixth."- Nolan Ryan
