Nolan Ryan, one of the fastest baseball pitchers of all time, was capable of throwing a baseball 150 ft/s (over 102 mi/h). During his career, he had the opportunity to pitch in the Houston Astrodome. The Astrodome was an indoor stadium with a ceiling 208 ft high. Could Nolan Ryan have hit the ceiling of the Astrodome if he were capable of giving the baseball an upward velocity of 100ft/s from a height of 7 ft?
