UNC Baseball: Zac Gallen channels his inner Randy Johnson

Former UNC baseball standout Zac Gallen has joined Hall of Famer Randy Johnson in an exclusive club, but you won’t believe what that club is!

Randy Johnson had plenty of memorable moments during his Hall of Fame career. One of the most memorable came during a spring training game, when a Johnson fastball hit a passing dove, causing a big explosion on the field.

Johnson, who was a prominent member of the Arizona Diamondbacks starting rotation, somehow hit the dove as it flew past the field of play during a spring training game in 2001.
