<\/p>\n
It’s a REALLY bad time to be a bird at an MLB ballpark these days … because for the second time in less than a week, one was killed in the field of play.<\/p>\n
The latest fowl situation happened during the second inning of the Guardians’ game against the White Sox in Cleveland on Monday night … when Will Brennan<\/strong> was up at the plate.<\/p>\n You can see in video of his at-bat … after he cracked a ball to the left side of the infield, the baseball accidentally landed right on top of a bird — before it skidded into the outfield for a base hit.<\/p>\n Sadly, the bird died from the impact … and it didn’t take long for players around the diamond to realize what had just happened.<\/p>\n Check out the broadcast footage — all of the guys had stunned looks on their faces … as a member of Cleveland’s grounds crew came out to scoop up the dead bird with a shovel.<\/p>\n Once the infield was cleared of the carcass, the game resumed … and Cleveland ended up winning, 3-0.<\/p>\n But, Brennan’s victory celebration was muted … ’cause afterward, he took to Twitter to apologize for the play.<\/p>\n “I truly am sorry @peta and bird enthusiasts,” the outfielder wrote. “An unfortunate sacrifice.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unfortunately, this was the second time in five days that a bird lost its life on the field … you’ll recall, Arizona Diamondbacks star Zac Gallen<\/strong> killed one<\/strong> with a warmup pitch in Oakland on May 17.<\/p>\n RIP, winged friends.<\/p>\n
