Sadly, He Didn’t Swing and Miss

Jose Offerman went CRAZY last night

Offerman, playing for the Long Island Ducks in the Atlantic League, homered in the first inning of Tuesday’s game. The next inning, he was hit by a pitch from Bridgeport Bluefish starter Matt Beech and charged the mound with his bat.

Catcher John Nathans was hit in the head and sustained a concussion. He tried to keep playing, but left the game with nausea and collapsed in the dugout, team spokesman Nick Razzette said.

Beech, a left-hander, sustained a broken middle finger on his right hand.

I assume the Tampa Bay Devil Rays have been in touch so they can add him to their “murderer’s row” along with Elijah Dukes and Delmon Young.
