Update, New YouTube Video: Jose Offerman Suspended, More Bat Attack Details

Recently we reported Jose Offerman’s suspension regarding the situation with the bat, being swung (quite hard) at an opposing man’s head.. We now have the youtube video with more information regarding the former two-time All-Star, Jose Offerman, who turned extremely violent at a league game Tuesday night. Offerman charged the mound with his bat and swung at least twice, striking the opposing pitcher and catcher, we believe was actually because of a fastball.

He was immediately arrested on obvious assault charges with the Atlantic League suspending him indefinitely Wednesday and shall be making a final decision on his future very soon.

“It was one of those moments that you want to forget. I lost it for about 10 seconds,” Offerman told the Connecticut Post. “That’s what happened to me. I didn’t have any intentions and I feel sorry for what happened and the way it happened.”

“Did you see that?” said Torii Hunter, Minnesota star, who said he’s been friends with Offerman before and after he played for the Twins. “There’s daemons in everybody.

“Some people snap. Was it hot there, or something? Did the guy say something about his mama? You take a bat out there, you can get blackballed from baseball. That’s deep.”
