WHO IS Robin Ventura?

Got punched in the face numerous times by Nolan Ryan. Excellent, borderline Hall of Fame third baseman, mostly with White Sox.
In Game 5 of the 1999 NLCS, Ventura hit a “Grand Slam Single” that won the game but did not actually count as a home run because he passed a teammate on the basepaths.
