Randy Johnson Had Comical Reaction to Comments on Bird Incident 

Speaking on the Arizona Diamondbacks broadcast Saturday night after he was honored pregame, he said, "People go, 'Hey aren't you the pitcher that hit the bird?' And I look at 'em and I go, 'I played 22 years! And I did a lot more than kill a bird.'"

McGwire hit is so hard that it didn't have time to elevate. It hit the left field padded fence and was a 1 or 2 hopper to the shortstop who had been playing short left field. McGwire was barley to first base when the SS fielded it. Typical rule is a ball that hits the outfield wall is going to be a double. Not this one.
I don't see a clip of it. Only the 558 foot homer McGwire hit off Johnson.
