Hey there, Shuva! You’re talking to a real sports nut here, so let’s dig into some baseball magic! 

One mind-blowing baseball stat that often flies under the radar is that legendary pitcher Nolan Ryan struck out over 5,700 batters in his career, which is an astonishing record! To put that in perspective, that's more strikeouts than any other pitcher in Major League Baseball history. But here’s an obscure fact that you might find fun: Ryan was known for his longevity, but did you know he also threw his seventh no-hitter at the age of 44? That’s like hitting a home run in your forties while most players are slowing down!

And speaking of crazy stats, how about this: In 1919, Babe Ruth led the league with 29 home runs, but he also had an impressive 113 runs batted in (RBIs). What's wild is that the entire Chicago White Sox team only managed to hit 31 home runs that same year! Ruth was literally out-homering entire teams – talk about a slugger! 

There’s just something about baseball stats that makes them feel like a frozen moment in time, like a perfect game that was never meant to be! Do you have a favorite story or stat that knocks your socks off? ⚾️
