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. According to The Associated Press, police said Offerman posted bond.

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.

"He hit him with a cut fastball in the left calf," Bluefish manager Tommy John said. "And the next thing you know, Offerman's going to the mound with his bat over his head taking swings at Beech. He took at least two, maybe even three [swings]."

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

"It may have only been John Nathans taking one on the backswing in the head to have saved Matt Beech from really taking one in the face," said Bluefish pitcher Mike Porzio.

I read that earlier on ESPN.com and that is crazy. Talk about losing your mind and being stupid. If he hoped to ever get back into the majors, he may have just ruined that chance.
