UNITED STATES-CATTLEMANS HALL OF FAME.

Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan was honored at the Western Heritage Awards banquet for his involvement in the cattle industry on Saturday night, according to The Associated Press.

During the ceremony, Ryan, now the president of the Rangers, was presented the Chester A. Reynolds Memorial Award, signifying that the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum ’s directors feel he embodies the traits of the American West.

The ceremony also includes induction into three halls of fame at the museum, which was established in 1961 to "honor and encourage the legacy of those whose works in literature, music, film and television reflect the significant stories of the American West," according to the museum’s Web site.

After 27 Major League seasons, Ryan compiled a record 5,714 strikeouts and seven no-hitters to go along with 324 wins and a 3.19 ERA.

But that’s not all. According to the museum, Ryan has operated several ranches in Southern Texas and has been raising Beefmaster cattle since 1972.
