Headline Reaction (Nolan Edition)

Headline:  “Nolan is 1st DFLer to take on Bachmann

Reaction:  this video.

(And please note:  I am not at all suggesting that Nolan Ryan should brawl with Michele Bachmann, it is just that the words “Nolan” and “take on” automatically takes my mind to this event (which is why it is a “headline reaction.”  This my favorite MLB video clip of all time.  And, indeed, I was watching the game when it happened).
