Students kicked off team for sacrificing chickens
By QMI Agency
Two Texas high school students have been kicked off their baseball team for allegedly sacrificing chickens, a local newspaper is reporting.
The Star-Telegraph reports the two players, who were not identified, may have sacrificed baby chicks on the baseball field. The reason was unclear, but baseball coach Bobby McIntire said it may have been for superstitious reasons.
The high school is located in Benbrook, just west of Fort Worth.
McIntire said the students may have gotten the idea from the movie Major League, where a character named Willie Mays Hayes talks about how another player, Pedro Cerrano, is "looking to sacrifice a live chicken" to help in a game.

What is it about ‘Major League’ that makes fans so obsessive? First, Charlie Sheen refuses to take that mitt off even when he’s got a chance at a handful of goddess ass or a pile of blow and now we’ve got high school ball players sacrificing chickens. Of course, if they had paid enough attention they would have realized Cerrano sacrificing a chicken wasn’t even appropriate to do in a movie and that’s why Jake Taylor came to the rescue with a bucket of KFC. I just hope this form of imitation doesn’t continue or Corbin Bernsen’s wife may get screwed. Here's a little 'Major League' for your Opening Day.
I think the coach over-reacted by kicking them off the team. It was just a chicken. When you're on a losing streak, you do what you gotta do.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd try a rally cap first. Less blood for the groundskeeper to clean up.
