I'm skeptical of the 'Alexa Rodriguez' story

Hawk-attack-1

A couple days ago, a hawk swooped down and grazed the face of a girl at Fenway Park. The girl was fine, and the hawk's nest was removed. What makes the story interesting is that the girl's name is "Alexa Rodriguez," which is eerily similar to Yankee-fiend Alex Rodriguez, and she is 13 years old, 13 being A-Rod's number. Was the hawk carrying out some sort of Red Sox Nation duty by attacking the Yankee-sound-alike, or was it just an amazing coincidence?

The improbable odds of this story happening make me think the story is fabricated in some way. Call me crazy, but it's just too unlikely.

First of all, what are the odds that the Boston Globe photographer was taking photos of the girl before the attack actually happened? As you can tell from this link, there's a photo of them sort of sitting there with the bird in frame before the bird even cuts her. Then there's her name and age similarities; it's just too much for me believe. I bet what really happened was the Globe took notice of Rays' phenom "Evan Longoria," and how he almost sounds like Eva Longoria. Then they were handed this so-so hawk story, and they decided to play up the girl's name. But hey, that's just me.
