Nolan Ryan/Robin Ventura


On this date in 1993, Robin Ventura charges Nolan Ryan after being hit by a pitch. Ryan gets Ventura in a headlock and throws six punches. Ventura is suspended for two games while Ryan is not suspended.

"I was relieved to see a little guy" - Nolan Ryan explaining that the two previous guys who charged him (Dave Winfield and Willie McCovey) were big guys

Something about getting into a fight with a guy who throws 100mph+ just seems like it wouldn't be a good idea.

First rule of thumb: Don't let them get you in a headlock!.......or the "sleeper" hold.
