This is the famous brawl when a then 26-year-old Robin Ventura charged the mound after being beaned by a then 46-year-old Nolan Ryan. Ventura got humiliated by a man who was 20 years his senior.

Why did I decide to show this video? Because I really hope that Ventura charges the mound again as a coach. That would be fantastic.

With how good Nelson Cruz has been for the Rangers over the last few seasons, it can be easy to forget just how tumultuous his road to the majors was.
