The game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres in Los Angeles was enlivened this week by the appearance of a goose who wandered onto the field. The greater white-fronted goose, which some fans thought was a duck, showed up during the bottom of the eighth inning. The fowl invader quietly stayed to enjoy the game until stadium personnel chased it behind home plate and bodily removed it. The Padres ended up winning the game 5-3 despite the minor interruption.
