Bless Red Sox and Yankees rivalry
nyintx
I was at that game when Nolan put the beating on Ventura. It was like watching your dad go off on someone for the first time.
bbarbourbill5
Careful! A hockey game may break out!
DeeRockNRoll
The last one is the daddy. The reverse angle shot shows Ryan saying: "COME ON!!!"

I grew up watching Pedro scrap. Man the Sox were fuckin awesome early 00’s. Fenway was better too
iluvbunbuns
Yeah it was awesome when he threw 90 up Don Zimmer to the ground.
iluvbunbuns
up= y.o. (year old)
Icantremembermyusername
I think it’s hilarious the catcher in #1 puts his mask back on when he sees the charge. Street smarts if I’ve ever seen them
TheSpaceForce
This happened this week haha
IronBeagle44
Nolan Ryan will fuck you up
amareis
TIL bat hitters are psychotic whiny little bitches.
DispleasedLurker
This is one of those rabbit holes on youtube you don't wanna go down. It'll take away hours of your life. From baseball to hockey, etc.
DispleasedLurker
Then you'll be recommended fight videos when you're browsing normally. It's awful. Go to incognito mode or something.
Freakyfrek
Man I was so pumped when Varitek mashed A-Rod in his face.
ChipHazard
Kind of a bitch move to keep your catcher's mask on during a fight though.
TheSpaceForce
Kind of a bitch move to use steroids, knock the ball out of gloves, or cause so many problems in your own organization no one supports you.
TheSpaceForce
Aka it's a bitch move to be ARod

I love baseball

Baseball suddenly got remotely interesting!

It should be noted #1 and #2 happened just two days ago!

Number 1 all started with a cheap shot sliding into second with his cleets up aiming for his legs

You are brilliant

And the man in the mask said, "Everyone attack!" and it turned into a ballgame blitz.

Gotta love my Red Sox ❤️

No. Represent the most racist city in the U.S. Fans not in the Philly class, but still.........
Tranchec
7 of these involve the Red Sox lol
Escheron
Boston is full of Irish. We drink and we fight, it's what we're good at. Baseball? There's a reason we blamed our losing streak on a curse
annaZon
And like 3 of them are against the Yankees haha
PossibleSarcasm
Not very professional for people who get paid millions
millzy38
To be fair, the first one was caused by the dildo hitting who cleated the shit out of the second baseman’s ankle. Paybacks a bitch.
grndpnder
Yeah and just like hockey the fans hate the fights so they need to stop. Riiiiight, loudest cheers you will hear all game.
ACEPILOT666
Hockey fans (actual fans) are fine with fighting IF its called for ie responding to dirty hits. Not the for the fan ones that are pointless

You punch someone in a baseball game, you're suspended. You punch someone in a hockey game, you chill out for 5 minutes.
twfeline
Good for business. Besides, with all that padding, players rarely get hurt.
TheAdventuresofStealy
The fighting in hockey is way down in recent years and the sport is so much better for it now that there's more emphasis on speed and skill.
RedIronCrown
I dunno. Bullshit like Sean Avery would never fly before the instigator rule.
LeumisRichardson
In hockey though it really is part of the game, like, there is strategy involved in when to deliberately pick fights and with whom.
twfeline
Players deliberately mix it up a little, just in fun. It's good for business.
MoreAshyThanLarry
And they go one on one like men, not that dogpile shit.
DrKriegersClone
Well ... sometimes
DetectiveSloth
why yu hef to be mad, is only game - NHL players
Diplocrap
It is in baseball, too. A lot of these fights are because a pitcher beaned a player in retaliation for a previous beaning. (1/)
Diplocrap
Then a fight breaks out to directly punish the pitcher, (2/)
Diplocrap
but the pitcher's team feels the need to protect one of their most valuable players, etc. Anyway, pitchers are told by the coaches (3/)
Diplocrap
to bean players in retaliation for a perceived intentional hit by pitch.
WarningThisElectricianMayShockYou
I don't think I've ever actually seen a good baseball fight. For the most part, good sports fights are confined to hockey and lacrosse
InboxMeYourBostonTerriers
I would normally agree completely; however, that last one with Nolan Ryan is pretty darn good.
WarningThisElectricianMayShockYou
"I'm just gonna sprint at this guy then put my head in his arm pit and hope it works out."
InboxMeYourBostonTerriers
Young punk didn't know that Old Man Ryan was (and still is) a bad-ass! He learnt tho
wherearetheavos
I know Americans aren't into it, but rugby fights are also pretty wild.
WarningThisElectricianMayShockYou
I'm a fan of rugby but it watching those fights no one knows what they're doing not to mention they're actually looking to hurt someone. 1/2
WarningThisElectricianMayShockYou
Hockey fights you'll see some gnarly punches thrown but for the most part once someone is down that's it. Rugby is just a brawl.
whitey211
I've never seen a good hockey fight. You want to watch fighting, watch MMA or boxing. Stop being babies and play your damn sport.
WarningThisElectricianMayShockYou
Have you ever watched a hockey fight though?
whitey211
No, I like to make shit up. I actually really like hockey but the shit fighting ruins it for me.
UnbreakableDNice
Fighting is as much a part of hockey as anything else.
whitey211
And yet you can't do it at the Olympics or college play...interesting.
UnbreakableDNice
Why would think that is notable? There's a lot of different rules that pertain to athletes in different leagues.
whitey211
Because someone said it's as part of the game as anything else. I'm saying that it isn't.

Odor knocked the bright out of Bautistas eyes man. That was the cleanest landed punch in all of Baseball brawls. Shit had me in stitches
MordorGate
Bautista stayed up and kept fighting, gotta give him a lot of credit for that
CarryTheZero
I'm no Bautista fan...but the dude can take a punch...
austinwizardforhire
That right hook from Odor was a fucking work of art.
BossPat
Fucking golden that's the swing of a damn god
Zeroforwinger
I love punk ass Bautista getting a beating
JimSilly
Perfectly executed.
FartedWhileMakingUpName
I love that he followed it with a glove slap lol
DrKriegersClone
It was a good shot, but he's still a no-class scumbag. That was over a grudge about Bautista showboating for flipping his bat after the 1/
DrKriegersClone
2/ homer that won a playoff series the year before, and then Odor goes and prematurely flips his bat the same way at the WBC on a hit that
DrKriegersClone
3/ didn't even end up getting out of the yard. Most melodramatic celebration of a long single I've ever seen.
imCanadianNotAmerican
The down-votes are clearly people who suffer from cognitive dissonance and can't handle your factual points. I approve of your response.
DrKriegersClone
I figured pointing it out would piss off some Rangers fans, but in the long run enough people are either objective or Jays fans or 1/
yodayogatogaparty
Still a beautiful landed punch to the jaw!
GnomeDeGuerre
When BO strikes back.
Yumstar82
I am from England and don't know much baseball. Is throwing the ball at the batter not ok?
Saxxon92
Meanwhile; at cricket
MuddyMax
A baseball hitting you at half the speed richg1960 stated will probably piss you off enough to consider violence against the thrower.
richg1960
Yeah, it is frowned upon to throw a 98 mph baseball near someone's head. Even if they are wearing a helmet.
ISometimesScratchMyAssAndSmellMyFinger
There’s going to be occasional throws off target. You can’t expect every throw to be perfect no matter their skill. You agree to the risks.
richg1960
You are correct, but in these situations we all know that the pitches were not accidentally off target. I'm not saying it's right or wrong.
iluvbunbuns
Pitchers throw high and inside (close to the batter) so that the batter doesn't crowd the plate and make the strike zone smaller. 1/2
iluvbunbuns
"Chin Music" opens up the strike zone for the pitcher, bigger strike zone, no batter hover over plate=more chance for strike to be called.
iluvbunbuns
Sometimes chin music pitch is intention, telling the batter to back off. Pitchers'll do it 2 batters wearing too much protective arm gear.
GetlnLoserWereGonnaOffendEveryone
I can easily see why he is a batter and not a pitcher.
v
GhostOTM
I think that was intentional... I hope.
MordorGate
He didn’t want to add more games onto a suspension most likely so he thought about it for a split second and intentionally missed
BumbershootCumbersnatch
That last one...Nolan was 46 when he put the 26 year old Ventura in that headlock.
MySpiritAnimalIsTheUnpopularOpinionPuffin
The fucking LEGEND!

They still show that video as part of the highlight reel at the stadium when Venturura comes to Arlington

I had it queued up as a comment if it wasn’t in there.
TellulahBlue
I was at that game! My family had just moved to Texas and that was my first time seeing an MLB game....it was awesome!
KCTiger79
That man was a freak of nature. No way should a human arm be able to throw that kind of heat for that long.
ZAPZAPMOTHAFUCKA
Just a good ole Texas country boy.

over 5500 innings. Fucking insane. Then you look at Cy Young.....

*shakes head
hockeyfiend
You should have seen him pitch!
azgrak
Pitcher tries to murder me or end my career I'd be bringing my bat with me to the mound to do the same to him. It's only fair.
HassanAlSabbah
No one is going to murder you or end your career with a pitch lmao. At best, they're gonna hurt you a bit. You bring that bat, it's 1/2
azgrak
So a 100mph ball hitting someone in the head couldn't possibly permanently injure or worse kill someone? Really? You go first.
CaptainCanadasMoose
And if you get hit n the head you ain’t gonna be heading to the mound with a bat. You’ll be flat on your ass at home plate.
HassanAlSabbah
Oh, you mean the head with a fuckin helmet on it? Or did you just forget about that?
HassanAlSabbah
Assault with a deadly weapon and your career is really fucked. 2/2
Angrybeardedman
Yeah, probably not a good idea to bring the bat. That said, beanballs have ended or shortened careers. Only one death though.
HassanAlSabbah
They have. Conigliaro being an example. But that was 50 years ago before they had the cheekplates that are now mandatory.
GetlnLoserWereGonnaOffendEveryone
To be fair the punk kinda just walked right into it like ‘here’s my head lol’
PointItAtED209
Looked like he couldn't decide what he was going to do, settling for a half ass tackle.

Honestly lol I don’t know how he even got into that position so easily.

Can you imagine getting your face wailed on by someone who continually threw 100mph pitches!?

After that game.

I kept scrolling and kept thinking... if I don't see Nolan administering a whoop ass, i'm downvoting.

"Dont mess with the old man in a field where men dont last long"
N8tvTexan
Especially when that old man has a punching/pitching arm like Ryan's! -Every Texan ever, probably
Cheomesh
That usually means they're better at running away than doing whatever the field does.
pTvPilot
Are you retarded?
VorpalWarp
guys chill out, I'm pretty sure he was trying to make a joke, as if the field itself was animate
jameretief
You have not idea what you are talking about. Old soldiers get old because they are good. Running away means you die tired.
Cheomesh
Top tip: I know lots of old soldiers (and sailors). Vast majority of them never came anywhere close to danger.
Zombies8MyWife
Fuck off. I served with a shitton of grizzled old dudes that have tons of combat exp. I hope you die in a porta potty from drowning
Zaffel
I was at that game. But because I was a fat kid that wanted a corn dog during that inning, I only got to see it on the concession stand TV.
ReasonableConservative
How was the dog?
Zaffel
It was pretty damn good actually. Kind of want one now that I’m thinking about it.
