So, you didn't attack a guy with a bat?

Are you sure about that plea, Jose?

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — Former major league All-Star Jose Offerman pleaded not guilty Monday to charges he attacked a pitcher and catcher with his bat during a minor league game.

Offerman is scheduled back in Bridgeport Superior Court on Oct. 17. He declined comment after his appearance on Monday.

Offerman was charged with two counts of second-degree assault when he charged the mound after he was hit with a pitch while batting for the Long Island Ducks on Aug. 14. He was accused of hitting two Bridgeport Bluefish players and indefinitely suspended from the Atlantic League the next day.

During the ensuing melee, the middle finger on pitcher Matt Beech’s non-throwing hand was broken and catcher John Nathans suffered a concussion.

Offerman’s attorney Frank Riccio has said he doesn’t believe his client struck the players with a bat.

Offerman last played in the majors in 2005 with the New York Mets.
