well you said 1990 and the fight was 19931. The more I learn, the more convinced I am that many players are over-rated due to inflated stats from offensive home parks (and eras)

Nolan threw at him. The right move (at the time) was to charge him and not embarass yourself hitting a older man. Robin did that. Honestly, I don't care about the legend of Nolan Ryan, if Robin (who was a pretty big kid at the time) wanted to take him down, I doubt Nolan could stop it. It was a respect move in my eyes. He HAD to charge the mound but instantly gave it up because nailing an automatic HOFer is a no no."Chuckie doesn't take on 2-0. Chuckie's hackin'." - Chuck Carr two days prior to being released by the Milwaukee Brewers

It's like fighting Gretzy in hockey - you cannot win. if you look at any replay, all Robid did was grab the waist and stay low. I he threw a punch his own teammates might be against him.

And the best part was that Ventura was ejected, Nolan was not
