Baseball Hits bird, Player Could Face Charges

There's a lot of these type jerks around. Years ago, I worked the window at my family's golf sports center. Twenty-two acres of green grass and river abutting the practice range.

In season and in the mornings, the migrating geese (the big, tall ones) would rest in a line across the range about 75 yards from the tee line for about an hour.

I had to watch for the golfers aiming for these beautiful birds. They thought they were in a shooting gallery at an amusement park. They would deliberately hit fast grounders at their targets. A direct hit would kill or maim these stately creatures.

These sadists were not riff-raff....they were educated, well-to-do residents in an affluent area. I can't tell you how many times I had to run to the line to tell them to knock it off or I'd kick them out and ban them from ever coming in again.

Most were sheepish and stopped doing what they were doing, but I was afraid that some of them would conk me on the head with their golf club.

You forgot to mention his bedwetting.

hmm I was looking for sungirl on this thread. Looks like she got booted?

and thankfully "tabitha soren" has been gone a while.

no birds at my local baseball hangout (muni stadium in San Jose) but during night games you can see bats chasing bugs in the lights.

Sorry, but if he did it on purpose, he deserves to do the time. I have a lot of wild birds at both of my places in Florida and they are wonderful animals. Don't pick up the soap you loser Cubbie, you might get a higher pitched voice while you do the time.

DITTO!

[Skooz]

Pathetic Loser.
I hope he gets beaned.

[Tunehead54]

Wow. Would it make me a bad person if I said I don't care about a stupid bird.

Yes. Need details - please respond.

Chill. The kid is Korean, he probably doesn't know strange white custom of elevating a cousin of the vulture to such a higher level of man in natures hierarchy.

I was gonna say somewhat the same thing. Perhaps where he comes from animals aren't held in higher esteem than people like they are here in the US. Now granted if he'd been told not to do what he did in the past, then yes he should get slapped with a good size fine, but no jail time. And imagine the headlines back home in Korea,

LOCAL PROSPECT JAILED BY RACIST COUNTRY

Sounds line another PR nightmare for the US.

[TLBSHOW]

He is that and more!

Anyone who injures my namesake has to be punished. I think he should be put in stocks and let me pitch baseballs at his head. Justice

It had to be intentional - the bird and its mate and the chicks were in a nest atop a 40-foot lighting pole behind the outfield fence. He did this during pre-game warm-ups, and was said to have laughed after missing on his first few attempts. Ospreys are incredible birds; I watched one fight a bald eagle in the air over a fish one of them had plucked from a tributary of the Potomac River.

[HenryLeeII]

...and my bad regarding your reply. I didn't see your #21 before posting my assertion that it was intentional.

[Ciexyz]

Yes, ospreys are magnificent. Thanks for the pics. (Post 57)
