Edited sentence: On August 4, 1993, after Ryan hit Robin Ventura of the Chicago White Sox with a pitch, the normally unflappable Ventura angrily charged the mound in order to fight Ryan, who was 20 years his senior.Ryan famously defended himself, securing the 26-year-old Ventura in a headlock with his left arm, while pummelling Ventura's head with his right fist seven times before catcher Iván Rodríguez was able to pull Ventura away from Ryan.Videos of the incident were played that evening throughout the country.While Ventura was ejected, Ryan--who had barely moved from his spot on the mound in the fracas--was allowed to remain in the game
