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.
