Former major league baseball player, Jose Offerman, decided to take matters into his own hands and go postal on a pitcher and catcher. 
Obviously pissed he no longer plays in the bigs, Offerman assumed it was ok to try and tenderize two Bridgeport Bluefish with his bat. Offerman now plays for the Atlantic Independent League's Long Island Ducks, home of MLB rejects like John Rocker and Carl Everett. With those great role models on the team, it is kind of surprising Offerman would react in such a harsh matter. Bluefish pitcher, Matt Beech suffered a broken middle finger on his non-throwing hand, and catcher, John Nathans suffered a concussion on the back swing when Offerman attempted to strike Beech again. Even Delmon Young chimed in when he heard of the altercation and said, "that aint right!" Offerman was charged with second-degree assault and released from the Connecticut jail on $10,000 bond. I hope he doesn't show up for his court appearance. It would make for a tremendous episode of Dog the Bounty Hunter!~Pat Morgan
