Bird Flies in front of a Fastball

What are the chances that something like this would happen? I feel bad for the bird but still it is incredible what a 90 mph fastball can do. These are the circumstances according to Wikipedia: “In a freak accident on March 24, 2001, during the 7th inning of a spring training game against the San Francisco Giants, Johnson threw a fastball that struck and killed a dove. The unlucky bird swooped across the infield just as Johnson was releasing the ball. After being struck by the pitch, the bird landed dead amid a “sea of feathers.” The official call was no pitch.”

    I think its sad and amazing that something like this would happen,but i’ve also heard that an animal rights group made Johnson apologize. Just thought that was an interesting thing
