Title: Birdland: Uninvited guest takes flight at Miller Post by: Donna on 26-Apr-11, 06:05:25 AM http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110424&content_id=18223284&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb (http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110424&content_id=18223284&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb) Story & video
MILWAUKEE -- Move over, Bernie Brewer. Miller Park has a new mascot. A hungry bird -- some thought it was one of Wisconsin's many red-tailed hawks, while the Brewers' amateur birders believe it was a peregrine falcon -- dropped in for the third inning of Sunday's 4-1 Brewers victory over the Astros, taking a bite out of an unlucky pigeon on the way in before settling into the grass only 50 feet or so from a very wary-looking Houston right fielder Hunter Pence. There he stayed, throughout a three-run Milwaukee rally complete with fireworks that followed Rickie Weeks' home run. Pence did the right thing by staying away. |
