Did Nolan Ryan Throw Another Fastball Out of Texas? (Spoiler Alert: It Wasn't a Baseball)
Ah, Nolan Ryan. The name conjures up images of blazing fastballs, frustrated hitters swinging at air, and maybe even a faint echo of "Yer Out!" But these days, is the legendary pitcher still calling the shots for the Texas Rangers?
The answer is: Nope, not anymore. Ryan hung up his ownership cleats back in 2013. Apparently, being a baseball legend doesn't automatically translate to stock market wizard (although, with that fastball, maybe he could've thrown a mean curveball at the financial charts?).

| Does Nolan Ryan Still Own The Texas Rangers |
From Mound Master to Money Man (Briefly)
Actually, Nolan Ryan's foray into Texas Rangers ownership wasn't all bad. In 2010, he teamed up with businessman Chuck Greenberg to buy the team. For a few years, Ryan wore the dual hats of President and later CEO, bringing his baseball expertise (and maybe a touch of that intimidating pitcher stare) to the front office.
But like a surprise bunt, things took a turn. After three seasons, Ryan decided to step down and sell his ownership stake. Maybe he missed the thrill of the mound, or perhaps the world of finance just wasn't his cup of tea (though with all those baseball salaries, there must have been some serious tea involved).
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
So, Who Owns the Texas Rangers Now?
These days, the Rangers are under the leadership of a group led by Ray Davis and Bob Simpson. Hey, maybe they can convince Nolan to throw out a ceremonial first pitch every now and then – that fastball might still scare the bat right out of the batter's hands!
