Who threw the 1st 100 mph pitch in baseball ?

I'm pretty sure it was Nolan Ryan who was clocked at 100.9 mph, but that is just from memory. Apr 02 02, 12:05 AM

I'm sure Cy Young did--they was just no way of clocking pitches back then. Apr 03 02, 7:00 PM

gophils is quite right according to the Guinness World Records book. It happened August 20, 1974 in Anaheim Stadium. Socrates, you are probably correct as well. Unfortunately, since we have no way of knowing for certain, I think the only acceptable answer is Ryan Nolan. However, Cy Young is listed as the pitcher with most games won in a lifetime, and is one of only a handful of pitchers to pitch a perfect game. Apr 03 02, 8:00 PM

Who survived travelling at over 600mph whilst not in a vehicle? Who holds the record for the highest speed ever achieved on a bicycle, which was 268.831 km/h or 167.043 mph at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, on October 3, 1995? Who built the world's tallest ride-able motorcycle, which is called Bigtoe and has a maximum height of 7.5 ft and a top speed of 62 mph? Where can I find a site, where I can type in a given sports question (like, in the MLB, who pitched the 1st 100 mph ball), and find the answer ?
