This episode marks the end of not just the Texans in the Hall series but also the podcast, at least for now, says Rex. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.

Nolan Ryan is a living legend with 324 career wins, 5,714 career strikeouts, 7 career no-hitters and enough stories to fill volumes. He closes the series.
