Anyone have a video capture of when that dude charged the mound and Nolan Ryan put him in a headlock and beat the heck..

...out of him? Had to have been like ten years ago, but I think that was the best moment in baseball history.

 

[spanky]

really? even ten years ago, nolan ryan was an old fart. must've sucked for the guy charging the mound

 

[roncarter]

I must agree. that was a pretty cool fight!

The fight was against, I think, Robin Ventura. Haha what a great fight at that . . .

While you're looking for that, look for the video in which a pigeon gets between Randy Johnson and the plate--also a classic.

edit: best i've found is a picture and it sucks. most of the way down the page.

Whatch ESPN often enough and you'll see one. I've seen it happen a couple times...the one he reffered to w/ johnson and another one - even more unbelieveable - in the outfield, after somebody hit the ball. Ball flies up, looks like a home run, and then both the ball and a bird fall out of the sky Also saw a golf highlight on there one time where a guy hit a long ball onto the green. As soon as the ball quit rolling, a seagull flew down and scooped it up. Flew a little ways out to the ocean and let it drop.

While you're looking into this stuff, don't forget when Dave Winfield hit a seagull between innings (he was gunning for it). Bird died on the spot.

I haven't seen the bird come down with the ball off a hit, but the seagull picking up the golf ball is hysterical.

If I ever see any of these on sportscenter's top ten (won't be 'til baseball season) i'll let everybody know.

Yup, that was Robin Ventura. It was pretty comical, 30 year old guy getting pummeled by 40 somthing Nolan Ryan.

Can u believe our current president said this about Robin!?
To Bush, nothing exempflied the fighting spirit of Texas more.

''Remember the Alamo!'' said Bush. ''That was a big moment and I'll bet you Robin Ventura wishes he never took a step to the mound. I was sitting right there on the front row. Ventura took about two steps toward first base and then headed to the mound. So, I had the view he had. When Nolan Ryan turned around, he looked like a bull. Ventura lost his senses and it was a fantastic experience for the Texas Rangers. It elevated the Nolan Ryan legend a little more.'

Thanks, Novgrod!
