Hard to believe that story about former major league outfielder Jesse Barfield being pushed down a flight of stairs by his 18-year-old son Jeremy.
The elder Barfield played the 1993 season here in Japan with the Yomiuri Giants when Jeremy was a youngster of 5. Now the boy has been arrested following the Aug. 22 incident during which his father suffered a head injury.
An older Barfield son, Josh, plays second base for the San Diego Padres, and what a shame something like this happened to an obviously talented baseball family.
