How about Choo?

I would celebrate after a hit like this, too.
Choo's single off Kyle Farnsworth scored Mark DeRosa from second base with the winning run as the Indians beat Kansas City, 4-3, in 10 innings at Progressive Field. DeRosa started the rally with a leadoff single and went to second on Victor Martinez's walk. DeRosa reached base five straight times on three singles and two walks.

Choo's single skipped off the center field turf and hit one of the dozens of gulls standing in front of center fielder Coco Crisp. Crisp was hopping mad, but he probably didn't have a chance to throw DeRosa out.

The gull, meanwhile, was stunned. While the rest of the flock hit the airwaves, it was grounded.

Finally, it shakily flew away into the night.
I wish that MLB.com allowed embedding of their video, so you have to go here to see it.

Just another one of the many reasons why I hate birds. That was pretty cool though.
