When my arm aches, I always take Tylenol Extra Strength.

Personal Services contract?  Sounds like Blow Job guy or fluffer to me...

Does he have a classier title to put on the WATN page?

[BDawk]

Maybe you should just use Fluffer.

[Gantry]

I think we owe Nolan a little more respect than that.  If Robin Ventura signed that contract on the other hand, I'd have no problem using Fluffer...

Didn't the old man punch Ventura in the skull once?  He definitely popped a few Advil after that one.

[BDawk]

I think it was about 7 times

Head lock, followed by repeated punchings when Robin charged the mound.  I love seeing replays of that.

[fknmclane]

Ventura will never live that one down.  That brawl was at the height of the "I'm charging the mound" phenomenon in the nineties.

[Baines]

I'd give anything to see that clip again.  The Ryan Express absolutely worked him over.  That's what you get when you fuck with an RBI Legend.

Even autographed by the express himself:

[BDawk]

Don't mess with a country boy

[fknmclane]

Robin Ventura...you're in big trouble mister.  Don't mess with Texas.

[BDawk]

We're going to get ya, buddy. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, mayBE tomorrow.

For those who did not check out the ebay link, the last line on the plaque is fantastic:

"It remains the only time Ventura has charged a mound in his career."

At least he learned something from the event!

Not only did Nolan knock Robin's block off, he wasn't even suspended for it.  MLB only put the clamps down on Ventura for that altercation.  Ventura didn't even get a shot in.  Hilarious.

Nolan Ryan is the Wayne Gretzky of baseball.  53 records?  That's like having the record for having the most records.

[erhajj]

Poor Ventura will be best known for this to spite a pretty good MLB career.

yeah, where he was a key re-signing for the dodgers in the offseason... nice work.

How could he be? Gretzky was the best hockey player of all time, and couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag.
