For $1,499, You Can Buy A Painting Of Nolan Ryan Beating Up Robin Ventura

(CBS) In need of some wall decoration for you man cave? You're in luck.

For $1,499, Gamedaygoods.com is selling a canvas painting of Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan famously -- or perhaps infamously -- beating up Robin Ventura during a 1993 game between the Rangers and White Sox. You know the story, of course -- after getting plunked in the back by Ryan, Ventura charged the mound, only to get his butt kicked by a man 20 years his senior. Ryan got Ventura in a headlock with his left arm and repeatedly hit him with his right hand

Now, you can have a piece of artwork to commemorate the occasion.

The description from Gamedaygood.com:

"Don't Mess With Texas" by Justyn Farano features Texas Rangers' Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan in a skirmish with his Chicago White Sox up-and-comer, Robin Ventura. After being hit with a pitch, Ventura charged the mound to fight Ryan. This amazing piece of sports art illustrates a defining moment at the end of a Hall of Fame career. Despite Ventura having 20 years of youth on the aged Ryan, Nolan gets the best of Robin and undoubtedly defends his mound.

Here's a look at the artwork:
