On August 4, 1993, Texas Rangers pitcher Nolan Ryan plunked Chicago White Sox third baseman Robin Ventura. After being hit by the pitch, Ventura charged the 46-year-old Ryan who caught Ventura in a headlock and punched him in the head six times before being separated. The benches cleared and several smaller fights broke out. Ventura was ejected, while Ryan was allowed to stay in the game.

Ryan had announced before that 1993 season that it would be his last and would retire after the season completed. Just over a month later, Ryan tore a ligament in his pitching arm which effectively ended his career before the season ended. Ryan, of course, is one of the most famous pitchers of all time. His career spanned four decades and he went on into the Hall of Fame. He is now the owner, CEO and team president of the Texas Rangers.

Baltimore Orioles reliever Kevin Gregg gets charged by Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz in this bench-clearing fight. Probably not a good life choice to yell at Big Papi.

Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland won’t go without a fight.

In some places it doesn’t take much to incite a baseball brawl.

Here is the latest incident in the life of former MLB player Jose Offerman…

In the past, there have been rumors of domestic abuse and video of Jose throwing a bat at an opposing pitcher, but to me this one beats them all!

Please share your thoughts on Jose Offerman and these incidents!

Do they have anger management classes where he currently lives?!
