Former Major League All-Star Jose Offerman threw a punch at an umpire during an argument in a Dominican winter league game Saturday night.

It's the second time in 2 1/2 years that Offerman has attacked someone on a baseball field.

Offerman, manager of the Licey Tigers, appeared to hit first base umpire Daniel Rayburn in the face or neck with his fist during a heated discussion.

He was detained by stadium security and taken to a police station to wait until the end of the game to see if Rayburn would press charges.
