Tests done Monday on Texas Rangers President
Nolan Ryan showed no new heart problems for the Hall of Fame
pitcher, who was hospitalized after experiencing discomfort over
the weekend.
Ryan, 64, "continues to improve," the Rangers said in a
statement. He is expected to be released from a Houston hospital in
a day or two.
Ryan has a pre-existing heart condition that will continue being
treated with medication, according to the team's statement. He had
a double-bypass operation in 2000 and has a family history of heart
disease.
He sought treatment after experiencing discomfort Sunday morning
while at his home in Georgetown, located about 170 miles northwest
of Houston.
Ryan had been expected to join the Rangers in Anaheim, Calif.,
on Tuesday night for the start of a three-game series between his
AL West-leading club and the Angels, who are in second place, four
games back. He was scheduled to throw out the ceremonial first
pitch and to take part in a ceremony inducting Gene Autry, the
Angels' late owner, into the team's Hall of Fame.
Ryan holds the records for most no-hitters (seven) and
strikeouts (5,714). He's been running the Rangers since 2008 and
became part-owner last summer. Texas went to the World Series for
the first time last fall.
