Top 10 Frattest MLB Players
5. Nolan Ryan
Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan had a reputation as one of the good guys of Major League Baseball. In 1993, Nolan put a 100 fastball high and tight on Robin Ventura and stuck it right in his rib cage. To everyone’s surprise and dismay, Ventura charged the mound on the 46 year-old. Not a soul on earth not named Ventura wanted to see the youngster get the better of the veteran. Nolan power-tossed his glove while anticipating Ventura’s arrival at the mound, put the power hitter in a headlock, then landed about six or seven old man uppercuts to that little pipsqueak face of Ventura’s. It’s hard to identify it in the video, but Ryan also gave him one hellacious “Take this, sport” noogie after bashing his face in. Robin learned a valuable lesson about old man strength that day. Ryan now spends his days ranching and owning one of the best teams in the bigs.
Not bad Dorn.

12 years ago at 3:36 pmI thought of Ty Cobb too
12 years ago at 7:42 pm^^ Rocker did in fact marry a black chick. Which is pretty fucking hysterical.
12 years ago at 11:59 amChipper fuckin Jones. Good column Dorn.
12 years ago at 11:51 amNot to mention the illegitimate child was with a Hooters waitress. Chipper Jones is an American hero.

12 years ago at 11:55 amAgreed. This has inspired me to join a beer league back home this summer
12 years ago at 2:42 pmGreat column Dorn. I agree with you and DAB on adding Tyrus Raymond and Charlie Hustle. Keep up the solid work.

12 years ago at 11:11 amLenny Dykstra should be #1:
12 years ago at 12:21 pm– Accused of sexual assult by his housekeeper last years, supposedly made her blow him only on Saturdays.
– Doing 3 years for GTA (25 misdemenor and felony counts on arrest.
– Owned a jet charter company for a while.
– Had the nickname “Nails”.
The only thing “frat” about this is the jet charter company.
12 years ago at 8:11 pmRape is cool, if you’re a Pike.
GTA is cool if you’re black, or retarded.
Nails? Seriously? What about “Nails” screams FRAT to you?
Chipper Jones. Fantastic choice. I’d probably add Rocker to the list. He has never given one fuck in his entire life. Except for the famous sprint to the mound and racking people up with 102 mph steroid-fueled fastballs.
