Osbourne, evidently carried away in the heat of the moment, picks up the bat and bites its head off, and has to be rushed to the nearby Broadlawns Medical Center for rabies shots.Full article:
Ozzy Osbourne : I didn't know it was dead at the time. I thought it was one of those rubber toy things, but as soon as I crunched its head I realized, 'Oh my god, what have I done?’.
Pam Culver (medical staff, Veteran’s Auditorium) : For a week that was probably fifty percent of my job - fielding calls from England and Canada and all over the United States. People wanted to know how much did it cost to do that, and did it hurt, and how many shots did he have to have, what part of his body did we have to attack.
