Ventura’s charging of the mound cost him an ejection and an unheard of level of embarrassment. Take another look at that video, and marvel at how furious he is as he’s charging the mound. Watching him charge is really quite funny when you know the ultimate outcome of the fight. What a douche. Ryan stated afterward that he had used the same maneuver on Ventura that he makes use of on his ranch in Texas, when branding steer. What a badass. And while Ventura and White Sox manager Gene Lamont were ejected from the game, Ryan was allowed to continue on the mound. The decision to allow him to stay in the game was based on the fact that Ryan did not move off the mound, and simply allowed Ventura to charge, and then defend himself. Personally, I think the umps did not want to incur any of that badass wrath. This fateful altercation ultimately led to one of the most badass baseball images ever taken. Sources:
