That was a doc that even my wife liked, and she generally doesn't like sports documentaries.

Is today Nolan Ryan Noogie Day?

By and large, baseball players are terrible fighters.

Steve Avery has an excellent story about a fight he started back in the day, it's too long to recount.  He was and is by the way a superb athlete, not much of a fighter.

Didn't even think about that, but it was in August I think.

It should be a holiday. Robin Ventura is a pussy.

Nolan is an alien.

Watch Facing Nolan | Netflix
I remember the media being fascinated with some relieving closer that threw 100+ for an inning or two, almost never 3 innings

Quite the collapse here by Kansas in an elimination game with TCU.

Led 9-0 after 1, now tied 10-10

You know, the batter who gets mad has this BAT in his hands, a pretty dangerous piece of thick wood, and the first thing he does is throw is down.

And they all wear metal spikes which can be quite dangerous.

Those bats are illegal everywhere except youth club ball.  I think using them messes up my sons swing, but when he gets ahold of one, its goes a solid 40-50 feet farther than he could ever hit it with his USA bat

They're one of those 'just because we can doesn't mean we should' things.
