BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- Jose Offerman has been suspended indefinitely for going wild during a minor league game Tuesday night.
The former Major League All-Star hit the opposing pitcher and catcher with his bat after he got hit by a pitch.
The catcher sustained a concussion and the pitcher has a broken finger on his non-throwing hand.
The 38-year-old Offerman has been charged with two counts of second-degree assault and is free on $10,000 bond. His next court date is Aug. 23.
The independent Atlantic League hopes to make an announcement regarding the length of Offerman's suspension by the end of the week.

Funny thing, Phil Rosutto died this week. A Hall of Famer, and you know whose numbers match his the closest? ANSWER - Jose Offerman, they won't even let say the words, Hall of Fame. Pays to be a Yankee.
