Fans attending the Angels-Tigers game were witness to a literal wild goose chase during the rain delay

Teams often utilize the video board to keep fans entertained during rain delays with a mix of trivia, games and highlight reel packages. The Tigers didn't need to do any of that during a delay in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Angels. That's because a goose flew down from Canada and hung out on the field while the two teams stayed dry from the rain.

That meant before play could resume, there was an actual wild goose chase.

While chasing the occasional squirrel or cat is good fun, those animals lack the ability to fly. This time, the chase was a little more comical, as the bird easily evaded his would-be captors when he took to the air before landing again in the infield.

Unfortunately, the run seemed to tire the goose out and, as he tried to leave the park, he flew into one of the scoreboards and fell into the crowd. Have no fear, though: A fan took the animal to Tigers team employees, who released the healthy rally goose from the park.

We've been informed the goose is healthy and has been released outside the ballpark. #RallyGoose — Detroit Tigers (@tigers) May 31, 2018
