I don't know about anyone else, but if someone threw a 90MPH fastball at me (most likely intentionally), I'd charge the damn mound too.

And I think Ryan just got lucky that Ventura didn't get the headlock first.

I also think it's kind of amusing that they never play the video of Dave Winfield making short work of Ryan on the mound after he tried to hit him with a pitch in 1980.
Still funny though.
