I thought about many corny headlines I could have given to this story. One was : Jose Offerman offs a man…sad really. Remember Jose Offerman? He was a journeyman infielder with a high OBP, last playing with the Mets in 2005. Well, he’s playing in the Atlantic League with the Long Island Ducks and was hit by a pitch last night.

Offerman redefined charging the mound. He took his bat with him and attacked the offending pitcher Matt Beech of the Bridgeport Bluefish. Shame, shame, shame. The Bridgeport Po-Po arrested Offerman after he was ejected from the game.
