Is Randy Johnson exploding that bird with a pitch in 2001 the most unlikely thing that's ever happened in sports? If it's not number one it's gotta be up there right? I mean, a major league pitch is in the air for on average, what, a tenth of a second? Probably less with Randy Johnson. The idea that an unthinking animal could randomly intersect with the ball at that exact moment is mind boggling to me. I can't even remember another time where a bird has even flown close to that area in baseball, let alone right at that exact height. You could play baseball for a million years and never see that happen again.

No the most unlikely thing to happen in sports is Atlanta winning a championship.

I know what being Designated for Assignment is but how does it differ from being "Outrighted"?

Any truth to the conspiracy theory that MLB juiced the WS balls? Or is the Astros lineup just full of grown-rear end men who can hit the poo poo out of a baseball?

The balls have been juiced since mid 2016, everybody knows it but MLB officially denies it.

It might not even be on purpose, the change happened when the ball manufacturer switched factories or something like that.
