March 24, 2001. The day Randy Johnson killed a bird with a pitch.
In bird culture this is considered a dick move.
Edit: Hey! My first time on the Front Page! Obviously, send newds.

The bird was a dove and yes it died for anyone wondering

Got to meet him while on deployment to Afghanistan. Shook his Ginormous hand and asked him one question: How did it feel to kill that bird?"

And what was the answer?!?

"that was one of the craziest things I've ever seen. I couldn't believe it." Then he signed one of my softball gloves :)

If I’m not mistaken, RJ got a ton of crap for this, something he unintentionally done

It annoys me that my first thought was of oglaf and not of Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law.

March? So it was a spring training game? Huh. Kind of makes it a little less cool.

I don't see how it could be considered a dick move to the bird; I think the bird was suicidal.

Reminds me of the suicide bunny comic

Sauce?

Well, it's kind of a dick to Randy in that case, forcing someone else to carry the burden of your death?

Maybe that was the bird's plan. To overthrow his career by inducing psychological damage.

this is worse than killing the bird. at least the bird didn't suffer,...now jeters gotta go back to the dugout and all his teammates laugh

Any statisticians here? What are the odds?
tobesmcgobes
Probably 1

Considering there are well over 400 birds in the world and roughly two score pitchers, I’d say eleventy
LordRegal
A TV show called Sport Science tried to recreate it (S1E10) and couldn't over multiple hundred tries in a lab setting, if I remember right.
StarboardSide
Let's just say, an exponentially high number. Fairly incalculable with the amount of information supplied in this one GIF

CaptWhiskerHorn
Yup. We keep watch over our own.
dodrian
What's the umpire's ruling on this?
Jelly333
Well u have to tell the birds familly what happened.
mvizzy77
Jokes aside, it would have been ruled a no-pitch.
DavidBrooker
No-pitch.

"holy shit" probably

Hit by ball, bird gets to walk to first base

You might need a pinch bird...a finch perhaps?
counterintel
They sent a pinch bird to first in this case, due to... the original bird being, um, you know, dead and all.
