Long Island Ducks shortstop Jose Offerman charged the mound wielding a bat Tuesday night after being hit by a pitch, according to the Connecticut Post.

 

Bridgeport Bluefish starting pitcher Matt Beech hit Offerman in the second inning and a brawl ensued that resulted in Offerman's arrest. He was being held on $10,000 bond on a second-degree assault charge.

 

Offerman hit a home run in the first inning and was hit by a 0-1 fastball in the calf. 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.

 

Offerman played for the Bluefish in 2003, appearing in 98 games. He also was voted an All-Star during his MLB tenure.

Ironic, I was searching for a picture of Nixon in a sox uni and I saw Offerman in a picture for the first time in years.

And that's what I was thinking Coco.
