well I guess that bat incident happened in America

and he had another incident down south

Bat incident[edit]
He has not played or managed professional baseball in the United States since 2007. On August 14, 2007, Offerman was thrown out of a Ducks game against the Bridgeport Bluefish for charging Bluefish pitcher Matt Beech with a bat after he was hit by a pitch. Beech suffered a broken finger in the resulting melee. Bluefish catcher John Nathans was also hit in the back of the head during the bench-clearing melee, receiving a severe concussion that effectively ended his playing career.[2] Beech and Nathans were taken to Bridgeport Hospital where they were treated and released. After being removed from the game, Offerman was arrested by the Bridgeport Police.[3]
On August 15, 2007, he was suspended indefinitely. The independent Atlantic League announced on August 17, 2007 that Offerman would remain suspended at least until the legal case was resolved.[4]
On September 24, 2007, Offerman pled not guilty to two second degree assault charges.[5]
His case was pending in Bridgeport Superior Court GA#2 in Bridgeport, CT. He was represented by Attorney Frank J. Riccio II. On October 30, 2007, Offerman was given two years special probation called "Accelerated Rehabilitation ('AR')." The Court determined that his actions on August 14, 2007 were of an aberrant nature. The Court also found that Offerman is not likely to offend again in the future.[6]
Nathans filed a $4.8 million civil suit against Offerman in February 2009, claiming that he still suffers from post-concussion syndrome and that the injury allegedly caused by Offerman ended his baseball career.[7][8]
Dominican Republic Winter League incident[edit]



On 16 January 2010, Offerman once again engaged in an on-field assault when he struck an umpire while managing a Dominican Republic winter league game.[9] Offerman, manager of the Licey Tigers, came onto the field during the third inning while losing a 6-0 game to the Cibao Giants, to protest ejection of his catcher for arguing balls and strikes and ended up arguing with first-base umpire Daniel Rayburn. He swung with a right hook at Rayburn, who then fell to the ground. Offerman was detained by stadium security, eventually being transported to the local police station to await the end of the game and Rayburn's decision whether to ask for charges to be pressed against him or not.
A day after the incident, the American crew that umpired the game resigned their positions with the Dominican Baseball League and left the country, reportedly due to threats and concerns about their own safety. Because of this incident, Offerman was for a time banned for life from the Dominican Republic Winter League, a suspension that was eventually lifted in February 2013.[10] Coincidentally, at the time he was suspended, Offerman was replacing Dave Jauss as Licey manager after Jauss was suspended himself for two years for bumping an umpire during a playoff game.[11]
