BOSTON - A 13-year-old girl touring Fenway Park on a school trip was attacked by a resident red-tailed hawk that drew blood from her scalp Thursday.

She wasn’t seriously hurt, but some observers saw an omen for a certain New York Yankees slugger in the attack at the home of the Boston Red Sox. The girl’s name is Alexa Rodriguez.

Vince Jennetta, a teacher who chaperoned her class trip from Memorial Boulevard Middle School in Bristol, Conn., told The Boston Globe that Alexa is “a little shaken, but OK.”

The hawk was perched on a railing in the upper deck behind home plate while the group toured the stadium. The hawk flew at the girl and swooped with its talons extended, scratching her scalp.

A single egg lay in the hawk’s nearby nest in an overhang near the stadium’s press booth.

The nest and egg were removed at the direction of state wildlife officials.

Honestly, how fucking strange is this?

Were this two days earlier I would peg it as an April Fools joke.

Oh man the Red Soxs have to be pissed....

After all that time and energy wasted to training that hawk to attack when it heard the name Alex Rodriguez.  For what i heard David Ortiz use to read it bed time stories about scratching A-Rods eyes out for the glory of the Red Soxs..  All down the drain due to a little girls name. I heard Big Poppie lost his smile that day. 

Then again it  lived in Fenway Park, so it couldn't have been to fucking bright to begin with. If that had been a NYC hawk, and her name was Davena Ortiz, that bitch would have ended up in the East River.
