Rays' Kevin Kiermaier gets knocked down by angry pigeon (VIDEO)

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier didn’t quite get attacked by a rogue pigeon at Yankee Stadium Friday night, but it did show him who's boss.

During the 12th inning of the Rays-Yankees game, the feathered fiend swooped down on Kiermaier while he was standing at first base.

Maybe the Bronx bird is a Yankees fan but, more likely, he was mad that the 4-1/2 hour game was cutting into his nest time.

You know. Waking up early, getting the worm, desecrating a few statues and all that stuff.
