Comerica Field in Detroit was invaded last night by a marauding goose.
The goose was loose mid-game — and during a rain delay — as the Tigers took on the Los Angeles Angeles.
The feathered friend took up residence and wasn’t keen to leave.
Detroit quickly nicknamed the bird Rally Goose.

But then things went south.
“Oh! Ran into the score board,” the announcer could be heard saying. Down goes the goose.”
“The poor thing. Hopefully he’s alright.”
“He’s okay.”
Indeed.
We’ve been informed the goose is healthy and has been released outside the ballpark. #RallyGoose

Still, the cross-border Toronto Blue Jays threw the team some shade.
We sent our Canada Goose to scout the competition. 😉

Oh, and the Tigers won 6-1. Full credit to Rally Goose.
