It's not quite Randy Johnson hitting a seagull with his legendary heater.
But on Thursday, Astros prospect Luis Baez found a seagull with a line drive.
Playing for the Double-A Corpus Christi Hooks, Baez smacked a liner back up the middle. A few seagulls were hanging out in centerfield, and one of them got a back full of baseball.

Good to see the social media team has jokes. Hopefully the seagull is actually just fine.
Baez will take the hit. He's hovering right around .200 on the season.
It's definitely something you don't see every day.
