More proof that God hates the Red Sox

13-year-old Alexa Rodriguez was touring Fenway Park on a school trip Thursday and was attacked by a resident red-tailed hawk that drew blood from her scalp. Rodriguez wasn’t seriously hurt.

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.

    That is pretty crazy! i can’t imagine being attacked by a bird randomly like that. I mean what are the odds. About as good as a bird taking a shit and it landing on your head? Who does that happen to?

    I think the odds of that happening are about equal to the odds of taking a photo of it at the exact moment of occurence
