Man Beats Another Man With Wiffle Ball Bat Because He Was Underdressed

Um.

Yeah. So, in college, we used to play a lot of wiffle ball, but we’d “cork” the bat with rocks and duct tape and we’d take the wiffle balls and cover them in duct tape, too, so that they would travel really far.

We used the “pitcher’s poison” rule and, I have to admit, looking back on it, I miss it.

I never got severely beat with a wiffle ball bat, however, not that I probably didn’t deserve it?

A Bethlehem man is charged with assault after police said he severely beat another man with a wiffle bat in an argument over underwear.

Hector Morales Jr., 19, was charged Aug. 23 with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and simple assault in a beating police said happened Aug. 17. Morales’ bail was set at $35,000 and police said he’s in Berks County Prison on unrelated charges.

Police said the victim, Donald Fehr, them he was beaten when he was sitting on his porch in his underwear and Morales told him to put some clothes on.

Seems like a reasonable enough request.

Fehr was beaten so severely, police said, the plastic wiffle bat broke and Fehr suffered a broken jaw, fractured skull and lost several teeth.

Was this Robocop’s wiffle ball bat? Wtf?

According to police:

The assault happened around 4:30 a.m. in the 2100 block of Florence Avenue.

Fehr, whose age was not provided, told police he was sitting on the porch of his home when he was approached by three men.

Police said one of the men, identified as Morales, told Fehr his girlfriend was coming over. Morales said Fehr was “being disrespectful” by sitting on his porch in his underwear and told him to put some clothes on, according to court records.

When Morales told Fehr to get dressed, Fehr refused and said “there was going to be trouble.” Police said when the plastic bat broke during the assault, Morales continued to punch Fehr until he collapsed in a puddle of blood. Source

Who the hell needs Manny Ramirez when you can sign Hector Morales?

OK OK, I see that he also PUNCHED him. I genuinely think a wiffle ball bat would totally collapse after a few well placed swings to someone’s noggin.

I used to hate the kids in the neighborhood who figured out exactly how to throw the wiffle ball curve and you could NEVER hit that freaking thing. HATED that crap.
