Hit Bull Win Steak?

The famed Snorting Bull that sits atop the left-field wall of the Durham Bulls Athletic Park lost his head to the winds Monday morning. The smoke-snorting bull had been at the park since it opened in 1995, promising a free steak to anyone who hit the bull with a home-run ball.

“It was a sad sight to see,” Durham Bulls General Manager Mike Birling said in a statement. “Mother Nature did what some pretty strong ballplayers never could. I hope she doesn’t expect her free steak, though.”

The famous bull in left field ... it is not the same as the one from the original park, however. That one is being displayed in the concourse.
