It’s been a rough week for the birds.
Days after Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen killed a bird with a pitch during warmups, Will Brennan hit a bird of his own with a line drive on Monday. To get two bird baseball incidents in the span of a week 22 years after Randy Johnson’s famous bird-killing pitch is some real cosmic shenanigans.
On Tuesday, Brennan honored the bird he hit with an extremely touching tribute during a home run celebration. After knocking home a go-ahead solo home run in the bottom of the third, Brennan twisted his hands into a flying bird in a very clear tribute to the fallen animal.
After accidentally killing a bird with a single yesterday, Guardians outfielder Will Brennan honored the bird with his celebration after hitting a dinger tonight 😂

Fly high, little bird.
