On Christmas Eve, a wayward coyote outside Kluber's home in
Winchester, Mass., found out firsthand just how accurate the
former Cy Young winner's aim is.
Rob Bradford, who covers the Boston Red Sox for WEEI.com,
tweeted that Kluber was at his new home, saw a coyote in his
backyard and "got rid of it" by hitting it in the ribs with a
baseball.
The Internet translated "got rid of it" as killing the coyote,
maybe with a four-seam fastball. The story took off and reminded
many of when a Randy Johnson fastball and a bird collided during
a March 2001 game.
Well, the Internet isn't always right and Kluber clarified what
happened with the Indians public relations department, according
to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Kluber said the coyote was pacing in front of his house when he
threw a baseball and hit the coyote in the rear end. The coyote
hightailed it out into the darkness, probably a little
frightened, but very much alive.
