In the official baseball
network’s piece on Hall of Fame pitcher Randy Johnson was a short segment in
which a Johnson fast ball killed a pigeon that flew between him and home plate.
Pigeon, baseball, poof, a cloud of feathers.
Johnson said, “I got a letter
from PETA saying, ‘If you ever do that again … No, I’m just kidding.”
In its attempt at maintaining
political correctness, MLB closed caption had Johnson saying, “I got a letter
saying, ‘If you ever do that again … No, I’m just kidding.”
To MLB, accuracy takes second
place to possible bleats from the sheep at PETA.
