An Omen? Hawk attacks girl with a familiar-sounding name at Fenway

[Forkboy]

A certain New York Yankee slugger should beware: A student taking a tour of Fenway Park today was attacked by a red-tailed hawk that swooped off its nest, drawing blood from the girl’s scalp.

Her name: Alexa Rodriguez. Her age: 13, the same jersey number the Yankee third baseman wears.
---
The 3 1/2-pound hawk has been building nests at Fenway since 2002, but has always been chased out before opening day so she and her mate could find a new home, said Tom French, assistant director of MassWildlife.
---
“I deal in science, not mythology,” French said, refusing to make any baseball predictions based on the feisty hawk. “Although you could say she has done a good job protecting her home plate.”

I'll bet Andre Dawson is pissed about just missing the HOF this year.

6. I was thinking Ken Harrelson

He's the Hawk as far as I'm concerned. But I'm old.
