Hall of Famer and former Met ace Nolan Ryan is back with the baseball community. The AP reports that he has been hired as President of the Texas Rangers.

Ryan has been involved with the Astros organization, working more with the minor league teams. He played with the Rangers at the end of his career, during which time he put the smack down on other former Met Robin Ventura (a White Sock at the time).

Ryan has 324 wins, 5714 strikeouts, and seven no hitters. He made his MLB debut as a Met and was a member of the 69 World Series team. He had 14 games as a Met with double digit strikeouts and a 3.58 ERA with the team.

I’d assume Ryan will have to sell his stake in the two minor league teams, since both are part of the Astros family. Either way, best of luck to Ryan. He’ll have his work cut out for him, helping to get a Rangers team that hasn’t done much so far this decade to a more competitive level.
