Summary: A Scrapbook Autobiography
Comment: This short (122pages) book commemorates Nolan Ryan's induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame by telling the story of his rise to baseball's elite beginning with his boyhood in Alvin, Texas, and ending with his remarks at the induction ceremony many years later.

This really is similar to a family scrapbook. It includes family photographs, interesting stories, and information you may not have run across before. Newspaper excerpts and comments celebrate each of Ryan's seven no hitters and the game in which he set the all time strike out record. Also included is a section in which Ryan's contemporaries comment on their favorite memories of the hall of famer. The list of contributors in this section is extensive and includes such fellow Hall of Fame inductees as Sandy Koufax, Tom Seaver, Frank Robinson, and Henry Aaron.

I found the two best features of the book to be the great pictures and the question and answer session which covers a variety of topics. Among the things the reader will learn are who Ryan's heroes are, what his greatest thrill was, how he wants to be remembered, and what advice he has for those who are running the game today.

If you are a general baseball fan looking for an in-depth autobiography of this great pitcher, you will probably be disappointed. On the other hand if you are a collector of Nolan Ryan memorabilia or just a fan of the man himself, this is a must have book.
