Ryan Express pitches beef to Japanese baseball fans
Instead of pitching to batters, now Hall of Fame hurler Nolan Ryan is pitching beef to the Japanese market.
Ryan, a Major League stalwart for almost three decades, now runs a cattle ranch in his native Texas, and was in Japan to throw out the first pitch at a Japanese baseball game to celebrate American Meat Month there.
The celebration was held by the U.S. Meat Export Federation, which is responsible for developing international markets for the U.S. red meat industry and is funded by USDA, exporting companies, and the beef, pork, lamb, corn, sorghum and soybean checkoff programs
