It's always perplexed me that so many with Ryan only want to talk about 7 games. Or 19 games, or 30 something games, or however many games you want to look out if you look at his 3+ hitter games.
Ryan had decisions in 616 games over 27 years. He started 773 games. And appeared in 807 total games. It just seems to me like the extreme spotlight on what are still at the end of the day statistical oddity games - is a bit strange. Steve Carlton never pitched a no-hitter. Roger Clemens, for a hard thrower - didn't either. Bob Gibson, Jim Palmer, and Tom Seaver each pitched one.
