Nolan Ryan only career ejection ticket stub

On August 6, 1992 — Texas Rangers Pitcher Nolan Ryan is ejected from a game for the first time in his 26-year career, by getting tossed by Richie Garcia after hitting Oakland’s Willie Wilson with a pitch.

Ryan (5-5) struck out 12 through seven and two-third innings.

The game was interrupted for nearly 10 minutes in the eighth inning when Ryan was ejected for hitting Willie Wilson in the leg with a pitch. Both benches emptied and booing fans littered the field with cups and food wrappers. Wilson and Ryan had engaged in a brief shouting match after Wilson’s seventh-inning triple off the center-field wall. Wilson will score on Jerry Browne’s two-run double.

In the sixth inning, Jose Canseco was ejected after arguing about his third strikeout of the game.

“Willie seems to have a problem,” Ryan said. “He thinks he can scream obscenities all game and if someone says something back, he wants to get a reaction from the ump.”
