[USML Announce] Wasn't Hideki Irabu a Riptorn?

[Andrew R. Klein]

TOKYO -- Former New York Yankees pitcher Hideki Irabu was arrested 
Wednesday for allegedly assaulting a bartender after drinking 20 mugs of 
beer, a police official said.

Irabu, 39, became angered after his credit card was rejected. He then 
allegedly pushed the bartender against the wall, pulled his hair, and 
smashed at least nine liquor bottles at a bar in Osaka, western Japan, a 
police official said on condition of anonymity, citing department policy.

The bartender sustained no injuries. Irabu paid the bill with another 
credit card.
