Six years after attacking two opposing minor-league players with a bat during a baseball game in Connecticut, former major leaguer Jose Offerman is nowhere to be found.

J. Craig Smith, the attorney for former Bridgeport Bluefins catcher John Nathans, tried to serve Offerman with legal documents in recent months, with no success.

"It's been so difficult for me to track him down," Smith said. "I certainly don't expect Offerman to show up at court."
