I saw this the other day and thought it was really cool. Also lends more credence to him being incredible.

In September 1990, Bo Jackson hit a hard one-hopper back at Nolan Ryan, and it hit Nolan in the face. It put a 2-inch gash in his lip that required six stitches. The blood poured, Nolan threw the ball to first, and he kept pitching without leaving the field. He didn’t even wipe the blood off his face! He told the trainer to keep his ass in the dugout, threw seven innings of 1-run ball, and got his stitches after the game.
Nolan said the injury wasn’t a factor, and that whatever happens during the game, you have to put it out of your mind. And that’s the definition of hard work. To keep going. If you’re hurt, if you’re tired, just keep going. For your team, and for your family. No matter what.

Ryan Express.
He was a successful, consistent, proven winner, before all the tech

Never piss off the pitcher, cook, doc, or the paymaster.

Walter Johnson and Christy Matthewson have to be in this conversation. I'll go Ryan Express over Mad Dog Maddux of the two poll options available.

Mad Dog was one nickname, but he was very well known as "The Professor".

All I know is my Cincinnati Reds were headed back to the World Series in '95 after winning it in '90, and Maddux and you sonsofbitches knocked us out in the NLCS

The GOAT pitcher is debatable.

What isn't debatable is that Maddux was part of the GOAT starting pitching staff.

Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz for years and years with usually a solid 4th pitcher as well.

Stunning only 1 championship during their era, as clearly the team of the 90s.

All 3 won a Cy Young but Maddux separated himself by a long distance. Maddux is the only pitcher in MLB history to win at least 15 games for 17 straight seasons.[2][3] He also holds the record for most Gold Gloves by any player with 18.
