Buddy of mine was in that, #16 DP over at the hot corner. He said he wanted to cold cock McDowell for being the biggest prick in MLB.

Ahh, Nolan Ryan. Back when baseball was played by Americans and a many played a long time. Now it's a bunch of meatheads and third worlders. I loved baseball, but now you can't follow a player because they're so disposable. I loved watching Jim Abbot, Nolan Ryan, Ken Griffey Jr., etc.

Sounded like that was the second time Ryan did that to him in the same spot. I can understand him getting pissed off; I liked the hesitation... "that SOB...go time!"

Thats back when baseball was good. I quit watching mid to late 90's.. The players now cant even be mentioned in the same sentence as back then.. Ken Griffey Jr, Rickey Henderson, Wade Boggs, Don Mattingly, Mark Grace, Ryan Sandburg.. Those days are loong gone.

Why did he lower his head and charge right into Ryan's headlock? Ryan got a few blows in to the top of his head before finally connecting a couple to his face. Ventura had a lot to learn about a fight, it doesn't count when you beat his fist with your face.

Heard a interview with Jim Rome years ago and Ryan stated exactly what a poster above said, that Ventura
charged the mound and started to beat his head into my fist. Ryan is also baseball's first million dollar contract. Not bad for a pitcher. Seemed like an astronomical sum back then. |

In baseball brawls, that is one of the the best ass beatings ever as he got him in a headlock and made him look stupid. It wasn't about the pain or damage inflicted as much as it was about the humiliation that Ventura probably still hears about to this day. Most baseball brawls have a guy charging the pitcher. Very very rarely does the pitcher who is standing virtual still get a chance to man handle the aggressor. Add in the 46 year old vs 26 year old and that puts it over the hump in baseball lore. |
