As we celebrate ‘Nolan Ryan Day here at ’30-YOC’, we will pay homage to Ryan’s incredible 7 No-Hitters!!
Nolan Ryan’s 6th No-Hitter – June 11, 1990
Where: Networks Associates Coliseum, Oakland
Attendance: 33,436
Time of Game: 2 hours, 49 minutes
Result: Rangers 5, A’s 0
Notes from the game: Still dominant at age 43, Ryan no-hit the mighty A’s who at the time were the defending World Series champions. In typical Ryan-form, Nolan struck out 14 batters while giving up just 2 walks. At age 43, Ryan fired 130 pitches on this special night!!

I was there! Ricky Henderson almost beat out a grounder in the 9th. Luckily good call by the ump!
Even many A’s fans were happy.
Was only 10 years old but I was there. I was pissed that McGwire took the day off and Jennings took first!
I was there with my Father and I was the only fan still wanting my A’s to win, not understanding the hugeness of Nolan’s 6th no hitter. I will never forget that game, yelling at the traitors in the stands. Great memory with my Dad as a 17 year old A’s fan. So glad I was there to watch that game.
Chris- Great strory, Thanks for sharing!!
