I don't remember Bo ever charging the mound (maybe because there wasn't a pitcher stupid enough to do what it took to make it happen), but he obviously had his war-plans ready.

I have read before about how catchers were perfectly willing to let him score at the plate back in the day when blocking the plate was still legal though.

Ricky Dempsey most definitely blocked the plate. Not sure if anyone tried it again.

Rick Dempsey was one tough SOB.

Dumb, but tough.

He makes a great point about Ryan hitting Ventura instead of Bo or Tim Raines, or Frank Thomas. Lol

No pitcher is standing up there on the mound if Bo comes charging.

Nolan Ryan vs Bo

Nolan Ryan is a man's man.
