Randy Johnson's Killer Fastball
By: lastcallace	Published: 03/28/2001
During the seventh inning of the Diamondbacks' split-squad 10-6 victory against the Giants on Saturday March 24, 2001 Randy Johnson, the NL Cy Young winner, hit and killed a dove flying in front of home plate. Johnson's pitch to the Giants' Calvin Murray was about three-fourths of the way to home plate when it struck the bird. The bird flew over catcher Rod Barajas' head and landed a few feet from the plate amid a sea of feathers. "I'm sitting there waiting for it, and I'm expecting to catch the thing, and all you see is an explosion," Barajas said. "It's crazy. There's still feathers down there." Giants second baseman Jeff Kent picked up the dead bird with his bare hands and jokingly pointed toward Johnson before taking it to the dugout. Johnson was not amused by the incident. "I didn't think it was all that funny," he said.   Size: 880.79 KB Type: Microsoft AVI Video Download: Why not join the rest of us on the inside and get all of Goofball.com?

To Sigma (0 replies) started by zyxwv (04.12.2001 0:18:00 AM EST) I think this would have to be scored a ball. He delivered the pitch and it didn't cross the plate between the batter's knees and the tops of the letters. The bird might have, but not the pitch. It would probably generate a note in the margins by the official scorer, but other than that, no different from a ball outside or in the dirt. Just a little bloodier.

Seriously now... (0 replies) started by sigma (03.31.2001 1:59:09 AM EST) Ok, I know people have joked about Fowl balls, and giving the bird a base for getting hit, but in all reality, how would they rule this? A strike? a ball? would they repitch it? gotta wonder.... (it is kinda sad though, I hit a bird with a softball once... though he was sitting on a phone wire....) I TOOK MY PROZAC!
