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.

Dave Winfield was 6'6" & 220. Ryan wasn't.
