Absolutely undeniable proof that you belong in the Baseball Hall of Fame. You autograph photos of yourself using Robin Ventura’s head as a speedbag. And, they sell for $100 each on ebay.
I’ll take two!
This rules beyond all doubt. And it’s even better because it’s Robin Ventura—in a White Sox uniform, no less. Take that you little “Grand Slam Single“-hitting fairy.
“The Beatdown” turned 15 last year, you know:
… the 26-year-old Ventura foolishly rushed the mound, only to get locked into the 46-year-old armpit of Nolan Ryan where he had no other choice but to absorb a few uppercuts for the ages. The ensuing images ensured that his above-average pro career would forever be remembered for having his rear handed to him by a crotchety old Texan.
My middle name, for the record, is Nolan—which is a helluva lot better than “Robin.”
