Throwback Thursday: Ventura Charges Mound, Nolan Hazes His Forehead

I’ve been watching the College World Series, and noticed that GDI Robin Ventura has been doing some commentating for ESPN. After seeing the picture of Nolan and W rocking party shades and discussing world secrets at a ballgame, I was reminded of one of the greatest sports beatdowns to ever occur:

Nolan “Old Balls” Ryan took that pledge in a headlock and fired some 103 mph shots to his disrespectful skull. This technique has since been used in bar fights nationwide, and will go down in history as another reason you don’t mess with Texas.

    “Ryan stated afterwards [the headlock and punch] was the same maneuver he used on steers he had to brand on his Texas ranch.” ^This
