In the latest edition of Distant Replay, we go back to Aug. 4, 1993, when Robin Ventura famously charged the mound against future Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, reliving the game and digging up stories you've never heard.

A future White Sox legend was at the game and met Ventura before the game (51:20). Plus, plenty more.
