Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zack Gallen has repeated history in the worst way.
Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zack Gallen repeated history in the worst way on Wednesday when he became the second pitcher in franchise history to kill a bird with a pitch.
Gallen, during a warm-up session, was aiming for his catcher when he instead conked a passing bird, sending the animal tumbling to the turf, TMZ reported. The bird was immediately killed in the head-on collision with Gallen’s curveball. The moment drew instant comparisons to the Diamondbacks’ Hall of Fame pitcher Randy Johnson, who took out another unfortunate bird during a game back in 2001. Gallen, like Johnson, reportedly felt a bit bad for the bird he took down.
