From Publishers Weekly
Coauthored with freelance writer Frommer, this straightforward, no-frills autobiography of one of the most successful pitchers in history, the man whose "heat" has been clocked at more than 100 miles an hour, makes pleasant reading. Ryan got into professional baseball largely through the efforts of a scout for the New York Mets; in the big leagues, he set all sort of records, to which he is still adding at age 41. The only hurler to have achieved five no-hit games, he is also the all-time leader in strikeouts and strikeouts per nine innings; on 22 occasions he has had 15 or more strikeouts in a game and 173 times he has struck out 10 or more, also records. He has pitched for the Mets, the Angels and the Astros, and has been a key figure in five divisional races, but remains a down-home Texan, a fact attested to by the managers, umpires and players whose quotes are included here.

From Library Journal
$16.95. sports At 41, Ryan has pitched in the Majors for 20 years, has 261 wins, five no-hitters, a record of 4547 strikeouts, but no Cy Young award. With commentslargely laudatoryfrom opposing hitters, teammates, and others, he covers his advance through the Mets farm system to the big club, then to the California Angels, and now to the Houston Astros. Sports author Frommer ( Red on Red with Red Holzman, LJ 11/15/87) helps tell the self-analytic story of a dedicated achiever who savors his deeds yet catalogs the slights from others. Like his friend Tom Seaver, Ryan is a good bet for the Hall of Fame, and his book is a good bet for adult and YA collections. Morey Berger, Monmouth Cty. Lib., Manalapan, N.J.
