Gotta love that moment when Ryan made Ventura his B word.

It was funny. Even from a Yankee fan. I remember Ventura saying he didn't know what to do, Ryan was a hall of famer... :lol:

The greatest part about that was the aftermath. After the brawl, the Mets only had eight position players left, and so rather than empty his bench completely, Davey Johnson alternated Roger McDowell and Jesse Orosco between pitcher and rightfield depending on who was batting. I remember Pete Rose, who was managing the Reds at the time, bitching and moaning that McDowell and Orosco shouldn't get warmup pitches every time they replaced each other. Probably he had money on the game. :lol: The Mets won that game in the tenth inning when Howard Johnson -- the lone position player remaining on the bench -- pinch-hit and slammed a three-run homer. Good times. :P

 

Don't forget Ray was a Golden Gloves boxer in his youth!

I remember it well. That was the game the Mets should have lost in 9 innings but Dave Parker dropped the last out and instead allowed the Mets to tie the game and go to extra innings, setting the stage for the fight and the crazy line up. It also was the last straw for George Foster, who was bitter about losing playing time and having his career wind down. He was the only guy who stayed on the bench during the fight and was released several days later.

 

I've never followed a team that was more fun to root for than the '86 Mets.

LMAO at Chan Ho Park. Can't believe he tried a karate kick!

Pretty typical Korean tactic. They all think they're Bruce Lee. It's rather comical to watch them in a bar fight.
