Former big leaguer Offerman flips out
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- Former major league All-Star Jose Offerman was arrested Tuesday night after charging the mound and hitting the pitcher and catcher with his bat during an independent minor league game.
"He hit him with a cut fastball in the left calf," Bluefish manager Tommy John said, according to the Post. "And the next thing you know, Offerman's going to the mound with his bat over his head taking swings at Beech. He took at least two, maybe even three [swings]."

Thank god the team had a brave catcher (i know it is expected but i'm sure there are catchers who would have backed down to a man with a bat) or who knows what kind of damage would have happened to the pitcher.
Quote:
Offerman's attack left Beech with a broken middle finger on his non-throwing right hand. Also injured was catcher John Nathans, who suffered from symptoms related to a concussion.

Bull[censored] reaction for being hit in the calf. That's not exactly life-threatening to the batter.
