Randy Johnson? I remember watching that on Sportscenter the day after it happened. Unreal.
To paraphrase another thread "He blowed up REAL good!"

In 1983 Dave Winfield, of the New York Yankees, threw a ball that hit a seagull at Toronto's Exhibition Stadium. Believe it or not Dave was charged with cruelty to animals. The charge was later dropped.

He was just trying to scare the bird to get it out of harms way. I had the same thing happen with a frog on a frozen lake. I was throwing rocks out in front of him to break off the ice so he could get back to the water. The last one landed right on him within inches of the edge. Ruined my whole Sunday.
