Not condoning what Offerman did, but intentionally throwing at a batter after the batter hits a home run should be grounds for assault charges as well. Maybe or maybe not if the pitch is in the thigh, backside, or ribs. But definitely if it is at the head.
Well, let's see:
    • Hit in the calf with a cutter.
    • Let's hit the pitcher in the head with a bat.
Yup, sounds fair to me ----- NOT!

Offerman was a head case when he played for Boston years ago! I see that time hasn't changed him. In my opinion, Baseball should set him aside for life for pulling this stunt!

No Mercy for the Wicked!
