Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen has become only the second pitcher in MLB history to kill a bird in mid-flight with a pitch.
Diamondbacks broadcasters said that Gallen “couldn’t wait” to tell everyone that he hit a bird during warmups. “I’m an animal lover, so this hurts me. But, in the spirit of Randy Johnson, I think you know where we’re going with this. The bird is no longer with us. I know Zac Gallen took some time to recognize that, but he hit it with a curveball, mid-air-mid-flight, and our cameras caught it.”
This is not the first time an MLB pitcher has killed a bird in mid-flight. In 2001, another Diamondbacks pitcher, left-hander Randy Johnson,Johnson later reported that not everyone was amused by the incident. Apparently, animal rights extremist group PETA threatened to file charges against Johnson for killing the bird., “and they were actually considering filing charges on the bird’s behalf.”
The Diamondbacks ended up winning Wednesday’s game 5-3. No word if PETA is planning to charge Gallen with murder.
