The Old Man Creamed You

Ten years ago today Nolan Ryan whooped up on Robin Ventura, 20 years Ryan's junior. My favorite part of the beat-down was the hesitation Ventura showed as he got to the mound. Like it finally dawned on him that attacking a 46 year old Hall of Famer might not be a great idea, but before he could reconsider Nolan had him in a headlock and had begun firing uppercuts.
