Bean him? No, I meant give him a bean burrito.

UNIONTOWN, Pa. -- A T-ball coach charged with offering a player $25 to bean a disabled teammate has refused a plea agreement and will instead stand trial in May.

Mark Downs Jr., 27, still maintains he did nothing wrong before the June 27 playoff game.

But prosecutors say Downs did not want 9-year-old Harry Bowers Jr. to play in the game because the boy isn't as talented as other players and is mildly mentally retarded and autistic.
