Ryan got his lip busted, I remember the big fuss around that incident. It was like a source of pride for Ryan fans in Houston that despite taking a hit to the face he kept on pitching where as a lesser man’s head probably would have exploded…
My favorite Nolan Ryan moment was, late in his career, when he buzzed Robin Ventura of the White Sox and clipped him on the chest, then about three steps down the line Ventura’s temper gets the best of him and he decides to give the old man a lesson and takes off for the mound… just to look up and see the old man coming toward HIM, glove thrown off, and ready to throw down! And then Nolan proceeds to beat the crap out of him!
Classic!

I was at that game. When the benches cleared, Bo (being the fastest guy in the stadium) was the first one to reach the mound. He covered up Ryan with his body and just stayed there on the bottom of the pile until the brawl broke up.
Needless to say, the crowd went completely nuts over the whole thing. Quite a night.
I should have noted above, “that game” was the Robin Ventura incident, not the split-lip game…
Bo being on the White Sox at the time, would he have really still been the fastest guy in the stadium, Will? After his hip injury, surgery, and recovery?
Why are you talking about Houston… This is obviously when he played for the Texas Rangers.
