A “Super Senior” softball league in New York wasn't quite the gentle game of sports that some players were hoping for, when a pensioner threatened to beat his team mate/ manager's 'brains out' with his bat. He was later said to have stalked him at his local pharmacy, according to the lawsuit.
The fight broke out after Ronald Tagliaferri, 74, and Robert Willis, 72, got into an argument over the preferred colour and cut of the uniforms for their softball team, The Kingsmen.
Things got heated between the pair, and Tagliaferri is said to have approached Willis looking for a physical fight, before being brought away from the field.
It is claimed that Tagliaferri, “in a menacing and threatening tone,” later left a message on Willis’ voicemail telling him he could track his whereabouts, saying he knows where Willis “gets his prescriptions filled” and that his former manager “should be on the lookout.”
Willis moved teams to avoid his fiery tempered team mate.
Tagliaferri completely denies ever threatening the 72-year old, pleading:
“I never threatened him with a bat . . . He has osteoporosis. He doesn’t walk too great. I wouldn’t do anything to [hurt] this guy.
“I never heard of anyone taking someone to court over an argument on the baseball field.”
The lawsuit is ongoing.
