Zero. Under "As an Astro":\n\n>>In 1987, Ryan had one of the most bizarre seasons in baseball history. He was by far the most dominant pitcher in the National League, leading the league in ERA (2.76) and strikeouts (270) at the age of 40. However, Ryan received horrendous offensive support all season, and finished with a record of 8-16. The poor record most likely cost him the Cy Young Award, an honor he contended for many times but never won.<<

Sammy is out of the league right now.  Although he has NOT officially retired, he is done with playing baseball as he knows it.  Expect him to disappear as Albert Belle did 5 or so years ago...

I think he is semi-retired, but appears at indy events...he also has his own website where he does postings..commenting about the current state of pro wrestling.

I have to say that I agree with the allegations that he did use steroids. ESPN the Magazine just had a story about him with a picture of him in '93 and one of him recently. Same pose (stretching before going to bat with the bat over his head). He didn't even look like the same person. However, I'm still undecided on whether or not he was aware that he was using steroids. But, it seems to me that'd be kind of hard not to realize that you're getting that much bigger that fast. On the other hand, you still have to have some talent and hand-eye coordination to make contact with the ball. So, it's not like steroids were the only thing that have propelled him to third all-time in HRs. There's talent there, too. But, I love the Giants and I love watching Barry play. I'm glad he's so close to the HR second place record and I hope he breaks Ruth's second place record and comes back again next year. His agent said that he expects him to return next year, just not sure for what team...be a DH in the AL or continue to play for the Giants? I think everyone should just lay off him, though, and let the man play baseball...for goodness sakes' it's just a sport...and, Ruth and Mantle, etc. weren't all exactly saints either...

He plays Rev. Eric Camden on "7th Heaven". Not sure how to contact him. Do a search on Yahoo or Google or something.

He was released by the Cubs in early April, and he's not currently playing in any team's minor league system.  I suspect he's out of baseball.

He is retired.. has not played in the major leagues since 2003. He was last with the minor league team of the Kansas City Royals in 2004-2005.

It was Nolan Ryan.  It happened on June 19, 1978 against Los Angeles Dodgers when he was with the Houston Astros.

Trevor Crowe has been making a lot of noise in Arizona Fall League and he is an outfielder.  I think the one that got away is\ngoing to make the most noise in San Diego.  His name is Kevin\nKouzmanoff and is a 3B-OF.

Yes, he is. In fact, he hit a walk off home run in the 12th inning last night to beat the Braves. He is very highly paid, and he is taking a lot of abuse from NY fans for his lack of production this year. Too bad because he is really an excellent ball player.\n\nI hope this helps.

He isn't on the disabled list. As a matter of fact, on Monday night he pitched a 4-hitter. in a 6-1 win over the Cardinals. \n\nThe put Rich Aurelia on the 15-DL for a groin pull, maybe that's what you heard?

A healthy Gagne, another quality set-up man and for God's sake, quit with the interleague games!!!\n\nSeriously, it looks like Coletti has made another move to shore up the starting rotation, trading Jae Seo and Dioner Navarro to the Devil Rays for Mark Hendrickson and Toby Hall. Brett Tomko went on the 15 day DL as well, so I think Ned's dealing days aren't over yet...

Officially he's a retiree. I've seen him recently giving a speech to a business meeting, that's primarily what he's doing jobwise these days. \nHe is known for his long list of charitable engagements, including being a member of the Board of Trustees of Howard University, and of the Board of Directors of the United Negro College Fund. He also serves on the Board of Governors of The Boys & Girls Clubs of America and is a member of the Advisory Board of the Children's Health Fund.

All i could find was this written in 2002:\n\n\nAlas, Houston sports information director Rick Poulter told me nobody there has heard from Benny since the early 1990s, when he was playing in South America. Then I called the only "Anders" listed in Bernice, La. (his hometown), and spoke with Benny's grandma. What the sweet old lady said broke my heart. "I haven't heard from Benny in three months," she explained. "If you find him, tell him I'd love to hear from him." \n\nJournalistic obligations aside, I couldn't bear to ask Benny's grandma any more questions about what he's been up to. So, Benny, if you're reading this: Give your grandma a call. She's worried about you.

Looks like he is out of the league right now....\n\nHigginson's agent, Ed Hayes, said Higginson has been contacted by some teams but has not gotten an offer. Retirement is more probable than possible.
