Will Anthony Rendon be charged with battery? Oakland Police Department Investigates scuffle with fan

Anthony Rendon is a professional baseball player who currently plays for the Los Angeles Angels. On the opening day of the 2023 MLB season, there were reports of a scuffle between Rendon and a fan during a game against the Oakland Athletics. According to reports, the fan had allegedly made some derogatory remarks towards Rendon, which led to a physical altercation between the two.

The incident was captured on video and immediately went viral across social media platforms. The video shows Rendon grabbing a fan by the collar after accusing the fan of calling him a "b***h". The Angels player also takes a swing at the fan but comfortably misses before being taken away by his teammates. MLB has announced that it will launch an investigation into the incident and come to a decision soon.

Other reports also claim that a police investigation is under way by the Oakland Police Department regarding the altercation. At this time, it is unclear whether Rendon will be charged with battery. The outcome of the investigation will depend on several factors, including witness statements, video footage, and other evidence.

In general, battery is a criminal offense that involves the intentional use of force or violence against another person. If Rendon is found to have used force against the fan, and if the force is deemed to be unlawful, he could potentially face criminal charges.

It is also worth noting that professional athletes are often subject to heightened scrutiny, both on and off the field. In recent years, there have been several high-profile cases involving professional athletes and criminal charges, including assault, battery, and domestic violence.

Anthony Rendon has a night to forget on 2023 MLB Opening day

The 2023 MLB opening day did not go well for the Los Angeles Angels and Anthony Rendon. The Angels suffered a 2-1 loss at the hands of the Oakland Athletics in the first game of the new campaign. The loss was even more frustrating after their star man, Shohei Ohtani, produced a pitching masterclass, which the team threw away in the eighth innings.

Aside from the altercation with the fan, Anthony Rendon had a disappointing day on the pitch as well. With three at-bat opportunities, Rendon only had one walk to show for the entire evening. There is no doubt about the third baseman's talent, after all he, is a former World Series champion. However, having been plagued with injuries in recent years, Rendon is yet to get back to his best.
