Well, one of his teammates talked him down from doing so. It was clear that he was certainly not innocent in this whole thing, and a defense attorney could easily argue that the recipient (notice how I never say, "victim?") of the jab had instigated the attack. Granted, nothing can justify taking the knob of a bat to the back of someone's head over a softball game, but it was clear that both sides were guilty of something.

Furthermore, the wife of the attacker was present at the game, and she certainly gave him a good piece of her mind.

Both players were kicked out of the league.
