BOOST FROM THE GOOSE ⚾️ groundfloorsd is giving the Padres' Game 2 luck charm some shine before San Diego takes on the Dodgers tonight! See the mural for yourself on 3rd Avenue, near E Street, in Chula Vista.
The bird flew into Dodger Stadium and landed in shallow right field with two outs in the eighth inning. It sat on the grass as Gavin Lux of the Dodgers singled to right.The grounds crew closed in on the goose, but the bird took off. It flew all the way to near the Dodgers' on-deck circle, where Cody Bellinger was standing. He flinched and edged away from it.
“That was pretty gnarly,” Padres slugger Manny Machado said. “Just didn’t want to hurt him. I think he was hurt when he landed so I didn’t like seeing that, but I guess it was good luck for us.”The goose was a hit on social media, with one man scolding the game broadcasters for incorrectly calling it a duck. Others made puns about the Dodgers' putting up a goose egg against the Padres' bullpen.
“Bright lights can disorient birds that migrate at night, which this species does,” the society tweeted.
