On Monday night in Kansas City, Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright almost duplicated one of Randy Johnson's most unforgettable moments.
No, he didn't throw a no-hitter. He didn't strike out 20 batters. He didn't dramatically stride in from the bullpen to save a playoff game, either.
He almost hit a bird with a pitch. Take a look.

Yikes. That's Royals third baseman Chelsor Cuthbert at the plate, and the ball, the bird and the bat all seem to converge at the same moment.
