A goose became the centre of attention after it invaded the field and crashed into a scoreboard at Detroit’s Comerica Park during the Detroit Tigers’ 6-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on May 30.

The goose took to the field during a break from play caused by a heavy deluge of rain meaning that before play could resume, an actual wild goose chase took place.

Footage of the goose shared to social media shows the bird waddling around the field before taking flight and crashing into the scoreboard.

According to Catherine Roach, the woman who picked up the bird after it fell into the stands, X-rays showed the goose has no broken bones or obvious major injuries. Credit: Fin Pfaff via Storyful
