Offerman's ghosts

[NewsWhore]

An incident that marred the reputation of former big leaguer and current Licey manager Jose Offerman is coming back to haunt him. Offerman is being sued, in a Bridgeport, Connecticut court, by John Nathans for US$4.8 million for injuries sustained during a game that allegedly ended the catcher's baseball career. Offerman was playing with the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League in 2007 when he stepped up to the plate. Offerman was hit by the pitch and lost control, charging the mound with a bat, swinging twice at the pitcher and catcher. "It was one of those moments that you want to forget. I lost it for about 10 seconds," Offerman told the Connecticut Post after the incident. Offerman was arrested at the time, forced to pay Nathans's medical expenses and take anger management courses. Nathans says he still suffers from headaches and vomits as a result of his injuries.
