LOL...yeah it refers to Pat Ryan but also very much refers to probably the greatest pitcher of all time as well...that was his nickname.
Nolan Ryan finished a legendary career that spanned four decades as arguably the greatest power pitcher of all-time.

He broke into the majors with the New York Mets in 1965, where he would establish himself as a hard-throwing, right-handed pitcher with big-time potential. During this time, the New York media gave him the nickname “The Ryan Express” in reference to the 1965 film “Von Ryan’s Express.” The name stuck, and would become a commonly used phrase by sportscasters throughout his career.
