CAUGHT ON LIVE on Instagram: "One of the most unbelievable moments ever caught in baseball. During a 2001 spring training game, Randy Johnson threw a 100 mph fastball—and it instantly collided with a bird flying across home plate. The bird exploded in a cloud of feathers, and the game was momentarily stopped. It was a once-in-a-lifetime moment that looked almost unreal in real time. Fun fact: The pitch was ruled no pitch because the ball never reached the batter."
