That man should have just been fine getting hit once.. no, he wanted 2,3,4,5,6. Lmao Ryan slapped that man up
Legendary… Waited till Ventura got within half a step to him throw glove down in motion to the headlock beat down
Nolan beat him like he was his Dad
Ventura emerged from that headlock/melee without a scratch or a hair out of place. For quite a spell the camera was glued to him, and he didn't look any the worse for wear. Just the normal amount of discomfiture; natural, given the circumstances. By the way, he'd make an excellent Clark Kent/Superman.
I love how the fans instigated the fight even after they were trying to get control.
Dont mess with a cattle rancher.
Bo jackson and Nolan looking like men among boys…and there isnt a small man out there.
Mess with the bull you get the horns lol 🎉
Best not mess with Big Tex!!
Another demonstration why Chicago sports is soft
About the only thing that could have made this better was for Ryan to get right back on the mound……and immediately hit another batter. 😂
Bo Jackson greatest athlete of all time. Nolan Ryan greatest badass of all time.
Man, don't argue with a pitcher that wrestles steers in his off time!
Never underestimate Old Man Strength.
Did he even get tossed😂😂😂😂
Nolan Ryan, what a legendary move to get Ventura in the headlock and school that punk!
He got a unwanted ticket on the Ryan express.
I hope Nolan Ryan learned a lesson. Not sure what, but definitely was something.
4 Rangers were tossed out of the stadium. By the umps? No by Bo Jackson
They didn't "Duke it out." Nolan Ryan punched him in the head six or seven times. Greatest baseball fight EVER.
