Yankees Attack Hawk

One of his final moves as owner of the New York Yankees, George Steinbrenner built a nest inside Fenway Park to house hawks that were bred to attack anyone or anything displaying the Red Sox logo. It is reported that Steinbrenner was furious about the 2004 World Series Championship the Red Sox won, so he started breeding the Hawks in the event they won another Championship sometime in the next 86 years.

When the Red Sox won the World Series in 2007, Steinbrenner was forced to put his plan into action by planting the nests over the winter and hoped they would attack the first Red Sox player they saw, namely Manny Ramirez or David Oritz. Sadly, he forgot to plan on Fenway Park tours which resulted in the first of probably many hawk attacks to happen this summer at Fenway Park.

A red-tailed hawk attacked a girl on a tour of Fenway Park Thursday, drawing blood and sending the girl to a hospital for treatment.

The middle school student was touring Fenway with a group from the Memorial Boulevard Middle School in Bristol, Conn., when she came within 40 feet of a nest the hawk had built on an overhang near the press box.

In other related news, it has been reported that George Steinbrenner has purchased ‘The Boston Channel’ which could explain the obvious cover-up in the reported story claiming the hawk was the one who built the nest.
