They play that clip at the Ranger games all the time to get the bubbas riled up. What I find interesting is that Robin Ventura, who's lip Ryan bloodied, had a reputation for being one of the nicest guys in baseball. Very charitable and giving of his time to various causes. 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.

All the more reason not to hit him with a pitch.

I still love the hell out of Nolan Ryan. He was a man's player. He did it clean, he had a career that spanned over a great deal of time, and he didn't wait until he was pushed out of the league. He left with class, dignity and was still producing.
