Dave Winfield - meet Gaston Aguirre.
The Argentine soccer player accidentally killed a pigeon when he kicked the ball and it struck the bird in midair.
"Poor pigeon," Aguirre said.

He joins a long list of athletes who have accidentally killed birds during a game - including Winfield, who struck a seagull with a throw in a 1983 game in Toronto.
Of course the pigeon was lucky to not get herpes which Dave Winfield gave to the seagull and Robin Givens mother.

Aww. Amazingly, I have a tennis related story to add! :)
I watched a doubles match a couple of years ago, and the ball hit a bird during the match and killed it. The players (men) were sort of devastated. They actually got on their knees next to the bird!
I'll see if I can find the video...
Ok...it was one guy who got on his knees. Here is the video.
As long as they didn't try to give it mouth to mouth like Dave Winfield did...because now you know the rest of the story.
