 o/event/16331732
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Nolan Ryan was the hero to two of America&
 rsquo\;s biggest institutions: Texas and baseball. Nolan is an exploration
  of God\, family\, baseball\, and America&mdash\;and a tribute to one of t
 he greatest pitchers to ever step on the mound. He grew up in the small\, 
 hard town of Alvin\, Texas\, was graced with a fastball\, and fell in love
  with a woman named Ruth\, then honored all three in his pursuit of hardba
 ll perfection. Alongside Nolan&rsquo\;s personal story\, renowned sportswr
 iter Tim Brown offers a thoughtful\, deeply researched history of baseball
  in the Lone Star State\, and an unforgettable account of three glorious d
 ecades in the Major Leagues.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Nolan Ryan&rsquo
 \;s story is about dominating on the field\, then growing old in the game\
 , then just plain growing old. It's about the man who has become a symbol 
 of the game at its best\, the way it used to be. It&rsquo\;s about deeds o
 ver words. About cattle matching the hat. About fastballs over all else. N
 olan makes the case that there has never been another like him. And there 
 won&rsquo\;t be again.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p style="text-align: center\;
