I disliked the way that the film depicted Robert Deniro as Al Capone whacking that guy with a baseball bat. Tony Accardo was the one who allegedly did that. I think they were taking liberties to put it politely.
If you're talking about the scene at the banquet, it was Capone (in real life) who wielded the bat against Anselmi and Scalise, two of his gunmen whom he thought was plotting against him.
Scalise & Anselmi,
baseball bat victims of Al Capone
