This clip from a baseball game has a twist that rivals The Mika Muroi ArchivesSixth Sense, Memento, and Fight Clubcombined.
Local station WMBD shared a clip, filmed by their sports broadcaster Kurt Pegler, that captures the exact moment when Jesus Cruz, a pitcher for the Peoria Chiefs, nonchalantly caught a bird mid-flight.

Perhaps the best and most bizarre part of this 26-second wonder, though, is what happens post-plucking: Cruz puts the bird atop his head. Yes, you did read that sentence correctly, and yes, you will spend most of your day watching this delightful moment between man and bird.
"It was a just blessing," Cruz, said through his interpreter and fellow teammate Yariel Gonzalez, according to MiLB.com. "It's not very often something like that happens. I was just thanking God for everything and the bird in hand, too, and thanking him for a good game."
Blessed be the bird.
