Philosophical I call it pride/ego. He want's it his way and him backing down hurts it.

Every player has an ego, that’s not even debatable. There is a major difference between pride and philosophical especially in this case. It’s philosophical about culture which has nothing to do with pride

Never saw Ryan much the guy to me that I thought was the best on the mound when I saw him was Randy Johnson

Different style pitchers.
Both brought the heater, but Johnson was so long and tall the batter felt like the pitch was coming from 1st base.
Ryan came straight at you with the air horn blowing.

I was intimidated and a bit in awe of Nolan Ryan I admit. Man has a presence about him and the Robin Ventura flashbacks did not help

I met Ryan's Son through the Round Rock Express. Attended quite a few games there. Spent a lot of time in their private suite at games. Met, and talked to Nolan on several occasions. He seemed standoffish at first, but as time went on, pretty much just enjoyed talking baseball and his special beef cattle he raises.

I originally met them through the Millers, who were in positions with both the Rangers, and Express.

Haven't seen any of them in several years. The Millers have since retired, and I doubt the Ryan's spend much time around Dell Diamond, which is really a sweet place to watch baseball.

Really a private guy from my interaction. He did a 15 minute Q&A with our Kia dealers that was unplanned he just loved it. But we were told in no uncertain terms no autographs or photos

Johnson main thing I remember him was the dove. Ryan main thing about him is the guy was intense he wanted to win above anything else.
