I'm trying as hard as I can to find video of this incident.

Unbelievable.



They have this from ESPN:

No live feeds at a Ducks game I guess.

Not sure what I more shocked by... the fact he is still around or the fact he can still use a bat. I remember during the 05 circa with the Mets he was hideous with the bat.

thats bull**** that the pitcher and catcher he hit with the bat are going to have to miss time with injuries as the result of one players idiocracy. I would be extra pissed if I was them. And its not like he came close to his head cause he hit him in the leg.

Wow, that is horrible. That catcher he hit in the head is now out for the season with a concussion. That stuff should never happen.

The best part of this, is that Offerman hit a HR in his first at bat, and then he was hit in the calf....which started this incident.

IF this man isnt barred from baseball and thrown in jail then he isnt getting enough punishment.

Rickey played forever....Offerman just didn't feel like stopping either.

Sad to see him sink this low, I thought he was decent in the early 90s. As a grown man and baseball veteran, he should know that charging the mound swinging the bat is way over the line. It's one thing to get pissed and roll up on a dude, it's another to start throwing shots with a potentially deadly weapon on the baseball field.
