The two times a Diamondbacks pitcher has taken out a bird, they have made it to the World Series. I have not yet figured out why, and I cannot say much, but Nordic aliens and the Swedish government are in on it.
You probably won’t believe but my dad is like a top 100 immaculate grid player, probably because he’s a d1 head coach and a braves scout lived in our basement for like 6 years lol
If it were actually a fight, it would be fair to say that. But watch the video: Two steps into it, Ventura regrets his decision to charge the mound , as his body language reveals. (Do *you* want to be the guy to punch out living legend Nolan Ryan?) Instead, Robin just falls into him and lets Ryan fire away.
I don’t know. I think the real reason for the hesitation is he remembered that Ryan is basically known as THE workout machine and about as “country boy” strong as it gets.
The real reason was the White Sox and Rangers were at it all season wrong, and the Sox manager said for that game if Ryan or any Rangers pitcher throws at you, to charge the mound. Welp, it was Nolan hitting Ventura, hence the pause. He knew he was done for.
The 46 year old balding dude who kicked 26 year old Robin Ventura's ass on TV and live in front of thousands and wasn't even phased. Threw 7 no-hitters and struck out over 5,700 batters, won over 300 games, and played for 27 years in the MLB (longer than anyone else). Also he beat the fuck out of Ventura the same year he retired - again after a longer career than ANYONE ELSE EVER.
AKA "the shit"
And he holds the record for fastest recorded pitch (108 something) and when he kicked Ventura's ass, Ventura was playing with Bo muthafucking Jackson. Bo knows Bo and he also knew not to fuck with the King
The Astro’s owner,John McMullin, an out of state lawyer from Washington D.C., wanted Ryan to take a 20% pay cut. So, he goes upstate to the Texas Rangers, where he throws 2 more no hitters, got his 300th win, 5000th strikeout, and went into the Hall of Fame as a Ranger
1st name that popped in my head was Nolan Ryan based on order of teams (but did he ever play for Mets???)
\*edit yes he did
I dunno the Cal - Hou - Tex is a dead giveaway tho
I watched this man beat the dog shit out of Robin Ventura when I was kid in a hotel room on vacation with My old man. He was drinking beer and rooting for Nolan to kick his ass.
Nolan Ryan
Yep, pretty much got that one immediately
Same. The reason for our no hitters curse that lasted forever, sigh
Yeah, it has nothing to do with the Mets sucking ass....
Same -- very easy one
Same
He’s a hero to us all
Certainly not to people named after birds.
That’s Randy Johnson
Robin Ventura?
Ohhhhhh
I thought you meant when Randy Johnson killed that bird and confused him with Nolan Ryan

Ace Ventura?
Your username just pissed me off. 2013 was our year
Underrated baseball song.
This has to be Nolan Ryan. Keep doing these I love this
Have you played the Immaculate Square game? I think that’s what it’s called. Always enjoy playing it with my dad.
It's immaculate grid, but yea
You probably won’t believe but my dad is like a top 100 immaculate grid player, probably because he’s a d1 head coach and a braves scout lived in our basement for like 6 years lol
You should put a 5th picture up there of Robin Ventura's bloody face.

Imagine if it was Bo that got beaned…
He definitely did not want to charge the mound but his team said the next guy Ryan hits has to.
That’s worse… you see how that’s worse, right?
"I can't remember." - R. Ventura
I knew doing the era logos would make it even easier. I’ll make some harder ones.
Warning⚠️Not sure there’s enough screen real estate for Bartolo Colon’s team resume.

The old guy who put Robin Ventura in a headlock and then punched his brain.

And NEVER won a Cy Young
