I looked up his official stats on mlb.com, and he has pitching stats. He pitched 1 inning in his whole career. Does anybody know when this happened and who he pitched against?

25-June-2004, Angels at Dodgers interleague game. The Angels were winning 13-0 (which ended up as the final score), so the Dodgers manager moved Ventura, who had replaced Green at 3B in the top of the seventh, to pitch the top of the ninth. He did pretty well; two flyouts, a single to Erstad, and another flyout to end the inning. But it just wasn't the Dodgers' day.

another “highlight” was his pitching debut on June 25, during a blowout loss, only allowing a single amid three fly ball outs. The Dodgers made it to the NLDS but lost in four games, and by that time, severe arthritis in Ventura's right ankle had made retirement the only option. He quietly called it quits on October 10, after going 0-for-1 in the final game of the Division Series.

it's the complete game log of that game. I remember also jose oquendo as well as jose canseco pitched durning blow outs. if you care to research further into hitters pitching. I can't think of any other ones...but that game log will tell you everything you want to know about the Robin Ventura experience.

LOL!!! Yes I remember that.I think he was with the Mets at the time and it was a b low out game so instead of wasting more of the bull pen they put Ventura on the mound.It was very funny!!

The only thing I think of when Robin Ventura's name is brought up is when Nolan Ryan smacked him down. Too funny!

It may have been when he was with the Dodgers. And he may have voluteered to pitch in a mop up role to save sprain on their bullpen.
