Nolan Ryan’s legendary 27-year career is filled with staggering strikeout totals and record no-hitters, but on August 6, 1992, he added a rare first. With two outs in the 8th inning against the Oakland A’s, Ryan plunked Willie Wilson, who he had jawed with earlier in the game. The umpire promptly ejected Ryan—the first and only ejection of his career. For a man who defined toughness on the mound, it was a surprising late-career twist.
