Nolan Ryan was in his final season with the Texas Rangers after 27 years in the majors. However, Robin Ventura of the Chicago White Sox was not ready to salute him as he charged the mound after being hit on the elbow in the third inning. Ryan caught Ventura, got him in a headlock, and proceeded to deliver a series of punches to the head. Ryan was not ejected and earned a win as Texas won 5-2.
