00:01Ellie De La Cruz became the hero of the game before even making his biggest play with the bat.
00:07An injured bird landed on the infield during the Reds game against the Brewers
00:11and struggled to fly away as players and staff tried to figure out how to get it safely off the
00:15field.
00:25That's when De La Cruz came out of the dugout and took charge.
00:28Like a shortstop calling everyone off a pop-up, Ellie stepped in, carefully scooped the bird up with his batting
00:35gloves,
00:35and carried it off the field.
00:37And somehow, the story got even better.
00:40After rescuing the bird, De La Cruz went back to baseball and hit a home run against Milwaukee.
