OK. So Offerman used to be a fairly decent Major League ballplayer. After a few years of wear, he--like many other players--finds himself in the minors. So last night, he managed to get himself hit by a pitch. Instead of either A)taking his base, B)having it out with the pitcher, or C)going down in a heap... Offerman decides to pull a D)and go all Marty McSorley on the cathcer AND the pitcher, going upside both players with his BAT!!!
He was arrested straight away and is being charged with 2nd Degree Assault. A felony is the state where it happened.
Brings me to two questions.
1) Since when did sport become a place to take your frustrations out on the nearest player with a weapon?
2) Are the authorities right for charging him, and should it happen more often?
