Robin Ventura's legacy. And it ain't his college career!


I was reading Craig Calcaterra over at the Hardball Times/Shysterball website and Craig indicated that whenever he thinks of Robin Ventura, he can only think of him playing for Oklahoma State in the 1987 College World Series.

Fail!

I like Craig and he is obviously entitled to his memories but come on now! This is too easy. When you think of Robin Ventura, what is the first thing that you think of? Right, that game against Texas where he charged the mound and got beat up by a senior citizen.

Robin, I know you had a nice college career and also hit 294 home runs and had 1182 rbis over your major league career but when you charged the mound and absorbed that beating at the hands of Nolan Ryan, that forever marked your legacy; like it or not.

Sorry.
