- Specifically, Nolan Ryan, at age 43, became the oldest pitcher to throw a no-hitter and the first to do so for three teams, extending his major league record in 1988.
- These events underscore baseball's evolving history of pitching achievements and power hitting, highlighting milestones that remain significant in the sport's record books.
