NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Former All-Star Jose Offerman was sued Thursday for a bat-wielding attack at a minor league game that injured two opposing players.

Bridgeport Bluefish catcher John Nathans is seeking $4.8 million in damages, saying the attack left him with permanent injuries that ended his career.

Haha.

I grew up with John Nathans and played little league with him on my Dad's team. His father is a prominent attorney in my howntown.

He's right to sue, because he was pretty messed up, but the guy was a minor league journeyman that wouldn't have made $200,000 the rest of the his baseball career, let alone, $4.8 million.
