When Jose Offerman Attacks

Former Great Falls Dodger great Jose Offerman went ape the other night. Offerman played for the LA Dodgers for a number of years before becoming a journeyman player, now a part of the independent Atlantic League.

After being hit with a fastball, Offerman charged the mound with his bat. He struck both the pitcher and the catcher, who tried to break up the fracas, in the head. He's been suspended indefinitely and is facing assault charges.

This may be a career killer (see sarcasm dripping). Too bad, really. He was my favorite Great Falls Dodger back when I was eight years old.
