In a AAA game between the Buffalo Bisons and the Durham Bulls, a seagul flew right into the path of a pitch by #23 of the Bulls. There’s no #23 on the Bulls official roster so we’re going to say it was Michael Jordon in disguise. The bird fell to the ground and fluttered around a bit before it was carried off the field by the Bisons’ backup catcher. It later flew away.
While interesting, this bird beaning doesn’t even come close to the poor bird that got in the way of a young Randy Johnson. (Video)

One reply on “Odds and Ends (6.7.06): Not quite Randy Johnson”
Yeah, it doesn’t quite make — the Hall of Fame of bird shatterings, as it was more of a clip, but it least it kept PETA off his back.
