On Aug. 4, 1993, Nolan Ryan showed why, even at 46 years old, it was never smart to test the flamethrower. Just ask then 26-year-old Robin Ventura.

I would wager that Nolan Ryan had enough control on that ball to know where it was ending up.

Baseball can be funny. Basically a 99% no contact sport yet "benches clear" and you get 50 guys on a field without a punch thrown. You have pitchers and batters acting like they are fighting, and then to top it off, you get 62 year old managers in actual uniforms and umps yelling at each other all while kicking up dirt.

It shows the whole Chicago team took Nolan to the ground not Robin as he was going down also from two teams pushing.

My cousin was a scout for the rangers at the time. I remember them days vividly.
