But I know it was in Canada and it's illegal to kill geese, the police were considering arresting the pitcher, but decided it was too much of a freak accident. Anyway, not sure if it's that one because the video's no longer available. This isn’t the one where he hits the goose, right? I can’t remember if that was Randy Johnson or not.

From wiki: In a freak accident on March 24, 2001, during the 7th inning of a spring training game against the San Francisco Giants, Johnson threw a fastball that struck and killed a dove. The unlucky bird swooped across the infield just as Johnson was releasing the ball. After being struck by the pitch, the bird landed amid a "sea of feathers." The official call was "no pitch".
