Bald Eagle Lands On Major League Baseball Pitcher [VIDEO]

Watch as a bald eagle lands on Mariners pitcher James Paxton. 

The mishap occurred prior to the first pitch of a game. Paxton didn't seem to be bothered by it, but deep down he had to be nervous.

Luckily the eagle's handler was close by and came out to retrieve the bird.

Should we include the disclaimer here that no animal was injured in this pregame ritual?
