Not a Debut That Made Me Think He'd Get a Lot of Kellogg's Cards - Sorry Nolan Ryan

Nolan Ryan made his debut on this day in 1966.  His first strikeout victim was pitcher Pat Jarvis.  Jarvis got the win anyway and Ryan got 5,713 more strikeouts after that one.

In two relief innings, Ryan gave up one hit, one run, one walk.  He also recorded three strikeouts - Jarvis who was the first batter Ryan faced, Eddie Mathews and Dennis Menke.  

Joe Torre recorded the only hit off Ryan, a homer.   Torre faced Ryan another 27 times in his career without hitting another homer.  

Will Clark hit 6 homers in 39 plate appearances against Ryan.  No one hit more than that off someone.
