A few months ago, former major league baseball player and All-Star Jose Offerman attacked a pitcher with a bat after the pitcher hit him in the calf with a pitch.
There was no video there, but these stills were put together to look like a silent film:

As it was, the pitcher injured his off hand, and the catcher who rushed the mound suffered a concussion, although it's unclear exactly how each was injured. Offerman had been working to try to get back into the majors, but following that incident, he was, and still is, suspended indefinitely. He was also arrested after the game.
Today, he received two years of probation and was ordered to go to anger management classes.
I don't know if that was enough. From the stills, that attack looked pretty vicious. Had he just attacked the guy with his bare hands, that's one thing, but if he had landed that bat, who knows what would have happened? Scary.
