Rangers’ Nolan Ryan Hospitalized For Heart Problem

Nolan Ryan has been hospitalized in Houston with chest pain.  Doctors are currently running tests to determine the cause.  The Rangers said earlier today (July 18th) in a statement that Ryan is 'resting  comfortably and feeling better'.

Nolan Ryan is 64 years old and by all accounts takes good care of himself.  He had a double bypass operation back in 200o, during which doctors discovered another undisclosed problem.

Ryan was scheduled to be with the team tomorrow (July 19th) as they kick off a four game series in Anaheim versus the Angels.

He is no doubt under considerable stress after the death of a fan at the Ballpark In Arlington less than two weeks back.  The fan fell to his death trying to catch a ball thrown into the stands.  Details on that story are here on the site at TrueOldiesAbilene.com/fan-dies For more details on the hospitalization you can go to where I sourced the information at msn.foxsports.com.
