Best Rangers-White Sox moment ever
Great shot. It was on the front page of every Texas newspaper on Aug. 5, 1993, the day after the old man whupped the kid.Robin Ventura charged the mound when Nolan Ryan was on it. Ryan mugged cattle for fun. He cleaned Ventura's clock. And hey, Ventura is an Oklahoma State product, but he got what he had comin' to him.
Nothing will come close to that for a long time, especially tonight when the Texas Rangers and Chicago White Sox play an exhibition game at the Rangers' Triple-A ballpark in Oklahoma City.
But a friend and I, with our coats on, will be there just in case.
Let the vacation begin.

Hoo hoo! A friend reminded me when he saw this pic that at the time, a young gal in the newsroom where we were workin' said:
"Robin Ventura can charge my mound anytime!"
She was a hoot, a real, hoot, that'un.
