Last Thursday, Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen was warming up before the game against the Oakland Athletics. He threw a curveball towards his catcher that mistakenly hit a bird.“I don’t really know what happened, honestly,” Gallen had said. “I just know that the ball changed directions really. I saw what happened. It’s kind of a freak accident. It’s unfortunate.&quot;Considering such freak accidents, it's imperative for the MLB to take some steps to clear out the ground before regular baseball can run its course, especially if animals' life is in danger.
