    Didn't he have another violent incident some time last year?

    From the link:

    On Aug. 14, 2007, he was batting for the Long Island Ducks against the Bridgeport Bluefish in an independent minor league game when pitcher Matt Beech hit him with a fastball. Offerman charged the mound with his bat and swung at least twice, striking Beech and Bluefish catcher John Nathans.

    He was already doomed b/c of how crappy he performed in NY at the end of his career.

    Ump should have pretended to be a baseball.

    I love how the camera pans out, as if a streaker was running on the field or a terrible injury had occurred.
