Today in Blue Jays history: Dave Winfield kills a seagull and Dave Stieb loses no-hitter in the 9th
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Winfield threw the ball he was using back towards the dugout and hit a seagull, killing it after warming up between innings.
There was a fair bit of debate over whether he did it on purpose or not. I always thought that it was possible he threw at the bird but figured it would see it and fly off. I’m pretty sure he never figured he would hit it. That would take a pretty good aim, even if it didn’t move. He was about 80 feet away from the bird when he threw the ball.The silly part of it all was that, after the game, Winfield got arrested for causing “unnecessary suffering of an animal.
I’ll tell you one thing. When Toronto comes down to New York next week, we’re going to get their four starting pitchers arrested. We’re going to have somebody call the police and say they were molested in the hotel.went to New York to apologize to Winfield in person.
