Nolan Ryan vs Ryan Ventura Signed Photograph by Nolan Ryan- It was the face-pounding beatdown heard ’round the baseball world, echoing through Texas and forever cemented in Lone Star sports legend, and it involved the greatest pitcher in baseball history. On Aug. 4, 1993, the Texas Rangers met the Chicago White Sox at Arlington Stadium. In the top of the third inning, 26-year-old Robin Ventura gets plunked by Nolan Ryan in the ribs. Ventura hesitates for a split-second, throws down his bat, takes off his batting helmet and charges straight at the 46-year-old Ryan on the pitching mound. people are eating it up, as our elder statesman dishes out six or so punches to Ventura’s then-cocky cranium. Both benches are cleared. Men with ridiculous mustaches and mullet combos fight in slow motion. Ryan and Ventura seethed at each other from across the melee, gaining their composure. Ryan was just months from retirement. He didn’t care. His place in baseball history was long secured. It was this fight that would make Ryan even cooler in many of our eyes, grizzled even.
