Shin-Soo
Choo liner hits a low-flying gull and drops for a single, scoring the
winning run in Cleveland's 4-3 victory over Kansas City.
Cleveland --
Coco Crisp thought he still had a chance to get to Shin-Soo Choo's ball. A bird beat him to it.
The
ball flattened a low-flying gull in the 10th inning and rolled past
Kansas City's center fielder and Mark DeRosa scored from second base
without a throw to give the Cleveland Indians a 4-3 win over the Royals
on Thursday night
"Crazy things happen in this game," Crisp said
after Shin-Soo Choo's liner over the second-base bag clipped the wing
of one of hundreds of birds that buzz the ballpark. "It was hit so
sharply, I felt like I had a chance," Crisp said. "You never know what
the heck is going to happen."
The stunned bird flopped around for a few seconds before finally flying off.
