A goose on the loose caused a brief delay during the National League playoff game between the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night.
The bird flew into Dodger Stadium and landed in shallow right field to watch the game. It sat on the grass as Gavin Lux of the Dodgers singled to right.
Once the inning was over, the grounds crew closed in on the goose, but the bird took off. With a blue plastic garbage bin, the crew put a towel over the goose and dropped it into the bin.
PETA’s Twitter account would soon take to the social media site to state they were actively looking into the goose’s whereabouts.
