Former Marlins great and two-time World Series champion Josh Beckett was arrested last night on charges of public intoxication in his home state of Texas after “attacking a country band singer at an open mic night.”

Beckett is said to have injured his leg in the encounter, which he described as “horseplay,” but Beckett’s never been a small guy so the singer got the worst of it as you can imagine, suffering a torn rotator cuff and dislocated shoulder.
