You've never seen that before? That's like 5 or 6 years old!
I remember seeing Johnson on either Letterman or Leno and when asked about it, he flatly stated that he "didn't think it was funny".

No, I didn't. I heard Jim Rome mention it in his 4:30 blurb on 1530 Homer, and that was the first I had heard about it. I thought it was recent.

3. Randy Johnson and the dove
In [b]March 2001[/b], the lefty slinger was on the mound for one of his final tuneups of spring training. Johnson, facing the Giants, struck out eight batters and killed a dove in the seventh inning, blasting the bird to smithereens on a pitch to Calvin Murray.

"I'm sitting there waiting for (the pitch), and I'm expecting to catch the thing, and all you see is an explosion," said Diamondbacks catcher Rod Barajas. "It's crazy. There's still feathers down there."

"It exploded, feathers and everything, just 'poof!'" said Murray. "There were nothing but feathers laying on home plate. I never saw the ball, nothing but feathers."

Murray said the pitch should have been called a ball, but it was ruled no pitch.

[b]One wag suggested that the bird might have fared better had it been wearing a batting helmet[/b]. Johnson, noting the fun those around him were having with the incident, said, [b]"I didn't think it was all that funny."[/b]

I think misspelling misspelling might top it. ^_^
