    I'm not sure it was three years, but I'm just saying the seed was planted when Ryan hit Guillen and Grebek.
    They call me Mr. Baseball. Not because of my love for the game; because of all the stitches in my head.

      well you said 1990 and the fight was 1993
      1. 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)

        Maybe I'm biased because I liked Ventura as a player.... but that wasn't a fight with Ryan - he's a legend - virtually untouchable. 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.

        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.

          I remember that incident. IIRC, Nolan wrapped up Ventura in a headlock and started delivering "nougies" (sp?)

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