Over a record 27-year playing career in Major League Baseball (MLB), Ryan pitched for the New York Mets, California Angels, Houston Astros, and Texas Rangers. After his retirement in 1993, Ryan served as chief executive officer (CEO) of the Texas Rangers and an executive advisor to the Houston Astros. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999, and is widely considered to be one of the greatest MLB pitchers of all time. Ryan had a lifetime win–loss record of 324–292 (.526) and was an eight-time All-Star. He has 5,714 career strikeouts, an MLB record. Ryan is one of two players in history to have his number retired by at least three teams, the other is Frank Robinson. Ryan is the all-time leader in no-hitters with seven, three more than any other pitcher. He is tied with Bob Feller for the most one-hitters, with 12. Ryan also pitched 18 two-hitters. Despite this, he never pitched a perfect game, nor did he ever win a Cy Young Award. Ryan is one of only 31 players in baseball history to have appeared in MLB games in four different decades. Ryan played in more seasons (27) than any other player since 1900 in major league history. (For all-time he is tied with Cap Anson for #1). He was the final active player from the 1960s to retire from Major League Baseball, outlasting Carlton Fisk (the final active position player) by three months. He is also fifth in innings pitched (5,386), second in games started (773), seventh in shutouts (61), is tied for 14th in wins (324), and the opposing hitters hit only .204 against Ryan during his career. Ryan's lengthy career spanned generations as he struck out seven pairs of fathers and sons (for example, Bobby Bonds and Barry Bonds), another major league record. Ryan holds 51 total MLB records, here are some: 5,714 career strikeouts (next-most is Randy Johnson with 4,875)7 career no-hitters (next-most is Sandy Koufax with 4)Lowest career batting average allowed (minimum 1,500 innings pitched): .20412 career 1-hitters, tied with Bob Feller18 career 2-hitters31 career 3-hitters15 200-strikeout seasons6 300-strikeout seasons4 career 19+ strikeout games5 career 18+ strikeout games8 career 17+ strikeout games16 career 16+ strikeout games26 career 15+ strikeout games by a right-handed pitcher36 career 14+ strikeout games by a right-handed pitcher56 career 13+ strikeout games by a right-handed pitcher95 career 12+ strikeout games by a right-handed pitcher151 career 11+ strikeout games by a right-handed pitcher215 career 10+ strikeout games
