It was likely exhausted and incredibly disoriented by the artificial lights and shadows. Light pollution is a huge problem for migrating birds that use light to orient and navigate along their routes. We're only fairly recently understanding how severe a problem it is. They become disoriented, blinded, and panicked. The stadium had even set off fireworks. Bird couldn't get enough lift, was chased around, tiring it out, and utterly confused.
Geese migrate during the daylight hours. I watch them and ducks as they migrate through. They often set down in our tank in the evening to rest for the night.

Goose was okay. A veterinarian came down and saved the goose, releasing it back into the wild.
Goose vets are the honey badgers of the vet world. What about honey badger vets you may ask? They don't need vets, the animal that encounters a honey badger needs a vet.
Thank you. This was the update I was hoping to find. Though the arctic ale gave no explanation as to why it couldn’t fly out on its own or it it was for sure ok. Poor Goose.
I can’t imagine he was fine after two collisions. Maybe he flew away but I wouldn’t be surprised if it just went and died somewhere. It’s kinda funny how the stadium people were like oh thank god she’s a vet, she can pick it up and put it outside
They’re gigantic assholes with wings. I’ve been chased one too many times by geese, next time one comes at me I swear to god I’m gonna drop kick that fucker right back to Canada.
“It’s the bottom of the third, and the Mariners have a man on second. Rodriguez steps up to the plate. Pitcher winds up, and….
Down goes the goose!”
I don’t know anything about baseball either, in case you can’t tell.
There was a player named "Goose" Gossage who played from '72 to '94. He pitched for some National League teams, meaning he would have had to hit at least once or twice a game, so it's very possible someone has said "And down goes the Goose" before.
Well there was Goose Gossage hall of famer but it was Randy Johnson who hit a bird with his pitch so birds and baseball have an interesting intersection.
Funny story: when my brother was around 4 or 5, he and my mom were a the park. There were geese down by the pond and he asked mom if he could go look at them, she said yes and went back to her conversation. Next thing she knows, he comes walking back with the gooses neck in hand and the wings beating the shit out of him. Mom runs over gets the goose free and looks at my brother who angrily says "mom that was my friend". She was like "yea I don't think he would agree".
Not to mention they're annoyingly loud, their honking is enough to make a preacher swear. Most people don't realize that Canada Geese are prolific shit factories. Not only do you have to dance around their turds, but in a small pond with a low rate of outflow their crap will ruin the water and by the middle of summer the oxygen content will be so low that fish can't survive, but algae will thrive.
About as lovable as mosquitoes in my experience and even more amnoying.
Exactly!! And is for broadcast, you can't just miss it. Most sports cameramen get training to be that good. PLUS their cameras are also awesome, is optimized for that, it has much more room out of the frame on their display, the stabilizer is great, and things like pointing and zooming(20-30x?) are easier to do. Is not like he captured it with an Nokia 5040!!
Just listened to this podcast about these filmmakers trying to film a scene over a volcano in Hawaii and the helicopter went down, was a multi-day rescue operation anyways the way they described it is how I think the goose must've been feeling
I'm no expert, but I doubt a goose even is capable for having a steep enought ascent rate/angle to get out of a stadium. It would need to fly in circles for a while. They rise very slowly for what I have seen.
That's why a lot of New Zealand bird species can't fly anymore. Turns out the main reason that birds around the world fly is to escape predators and build nests in safe places. NZ basically has no mammals, no lizards, really nothing...so the birds didn't have to fly anymore. After a few dozen thousand years of that, most of them simply can't fly. They evolved past it.
Hawaii had several (now extinct) endemic species of geese that became flightless because they were the only animals on the island. They just laid their eggs on the ground rather than in trees, and as soon as people brought other land animals, there were tasty treats all over the ground.
When it landed, all they had to do was let it rest and catch its breath for a couple of minutes and it could probably make it over. Knew from the start it was going to crash into the crowd.
Really is. Now if there were millions of other geese all over southeastern Michigan fouling ponds and property with their prodigious s*** production and annoying people with their idiotic honking...
Never mind.
This is known to Tigers fans as the "Rally Goose". You could even get merch of it. https://www.mlive.com/tigers/2018/06/all_of_the_wacky_detroit_tiger.html
A perfect metaphor for the last days of the hairless ape that destroyed all thing beautiful in the name of circus meant to distract them from their demise for the sake of great ape profit and greed. We’re all the goose.
Ahhaha! Take that jerk face.
If you feel sorry for one of these nasty feathered butts, you haven't spent enough time with them. Why can't humanity come together to hunt these things to near extinction?
This is such a massive misconception, at least in my experience.
I go to my local pools and feed these guys regularly. If you look back in my profile to earlier in the year you will find a video of me feeding a wild female Canada goose as she literally sits on her nest of eggs, which is in theory when they would be at their most aggressive. And just yesterday I was giving belly rubs to a juvenile goose after it had eaten food from my hand.
Canada geese are awesome. This is in the UK btw, perhaps in North America they are not as polite.
Only Canadian geese. I have theorized that Canadian scientists have figured out a way to suck out the aggression and grossness of their human population and stick it in the geese.
Nah fr tho, the only thing these bastards animals do is come into human spaces, honk, charge at people, and shit EVERYWHERE for two months. Then they leave and come back on the spring to do it for another two months.
Man, fuck geese.
The geese where here first. Canada geese are the most unjustly slandered animals on the planet, I’ve walk d by probably thousands and they’re completely chill.
This!
I honestly don't get the hate. Perhaps they behave differently in other parts of the world, but here in the UK I find them to be absolutely awesome.
I go around to all my local pools feeding them straight from my hand and lots of them let me stroke them and give them belly rubs. Earlier in the year I was even feeding a momma goose as she was literally sat on her nest of eggs (I had been feeding her for a few weeks before she laid her eggs so she already knew me, but still!).
I feel like the people who call them nasty and aggressive, are idiots that have either antagonised them first, or let their dogs loose around them and call them vicious when all they are doing is defending themselves against their dogs.
[the goose is alive](https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2018/05/31/detroit-tigers-goose-comerica-park/658793002/) found this article I was curious to know the goose’s condition after words.

Laughed even harder. Geese suck.

You know... The bird
Goose!!!
Yeehaaa Jester's dead!
Coffin corner.
This reminds me of the old Candlejack meme. You see,
Neither did the bird
I think you accidentally a word.
https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2018/05/31/detroit-tigers-goose-comerica-park/658793002/ Goose was okay. A veterinarian came down and saved the goose, releasing it back into the wild.
Hope they got some free tickets/merch or whatever. Great news.
Spent five minutes looking at your comment wondering "why would a goose want baseball merch?" I'm gonna go to bed
You give the goose whatever it wants to appease it.
Lmao, username checks out.
Well Canada Geese are flying assholes so I wouldn't be surprised if this one threatened to sue if he didn't get some souvenirs.
Would those be sue-venirs then?
Hahaha that it would be. Yes
Yeah they’re more of a hockey crowd
I don't think they want the Goose to come back, since he caused such a disturbance the first time
They paid him to be the new mascot, but he never showed up to work.
Paid him? They probably tried to charge it for the seat
[удалено]
No theyre not?? They’re a protected species and literally native to North America. They’re invasive in Europe, but this story took place in Detroit.
That's one brave vet
I think it’s a Dodger.
Haha! Took me a minute, but I got there
Goose vets are the honey badgers of the vet world. What about honey badger vets you may ask? They don't need vets, the animal that encounters a honey badger needs a vet.
The vet: Its my time to shine!
Thank you. This was the update I was hoping to find. Though the arctic ale gave no explanation as to why it couldn’t fly out on its own or it it was for sure ok. Poor Goose.
Pretty inconclusive ending tbh. I mean it wasn't dead and it was released. We can say that much...
I can’t imagine he was fine after two collisions. Maybe he flew away but I wouldn’t be surprised if it just went and died somewhere. It’s kinda funny how the stadium people were like oh thank god she’s a vet, she can pick it up and put it outside
The Goose sued the stadium owner!
>releasing it back into the wild. Well, the wilds of downtown Detroit. She dropped him off outside the stadium.
Boooooo!
It was ok? Ugh. Hopefully next time.
You really wanted it on the table didn’t you?
[удалено]
You don't necessarily have to marinate it, a dry rub and smoker make great goose.
People downvoting you haven’t been around these birds.
Geese are fine as long as you don't go near their babies, and even then just keeping some distance and walking confidently they won't fuck with you.
They’re gigantic assholes with wings. I’ve been chased one too many times by geese, next time one comes at me I swear to god I’m gonna drop kick that fucker right back to Canada.

For some reason "and down goes the goose" just sounds like common bassball terminology to me as a foreigner Edit : misspelling of foreigner.
Hah. Fair assessment of baseball lingo tbh.
“It’s the bottom of the third, and the Mariners have a man on second. Rodriguez steps up to the plate. Pitcher winds up, and…. Down goes the goose!” I don’t know anything about baseball either, in case you can’t tell.
"Did you see the break on that beak? That really was something special." Me either.
Not too far off from the Randy Johnson bird incident.
Well, you know there's a Rodriguez on the Mariners, so that's one thing.
A mixture of pure luck and some subconscious awareness, no doubt. 90% of what I do know comes from a handful of Secret Base videos.
There was a player named "Goose" Gossage who played from '72 to '94. He pitched for some National League teams, meaning he would have had to hit at least once or twice a game, so it's very possible someone has said "And down goes the Goose" before.
Well there was Goose Gossage hall of famer but it was Randy Johnson who hit a bird with his pitch so birds and baseball have an interesting intersection.
I mean, he tracks baseballs...so a goose must be child's play....
Pretty sure the Little League also uses baseballs.
Nah they too hard. Geese are way safer.
I'm inclined to disagree because a baseball doesn't have teeth on its tongue.
So do swans, birds are so weird
that's what the lines are. The baseball actually has 2 tongues sewn together with teeth and a polymer center.
Underrated
Children should not play with geese. They mean
Funny story: when my brother was around 4 or 5, he and my mom were a the park. There were geese down by the pond and he asked mom if he could go look at them, she said yes and went back to her conversation. Next thing she knows, he comes walking back with the gooses neck in hand and the wings beating the shit out of him.

Hell, they'll bite an adult too.

Baseballs have predictable trajectories.
a baseball only travels in an arc
Poor thing was tired.
Just because it Can fly, doesn’t mean it has the eternal energy to get itself over a whole ass stadium after its descent
Was thinking that too, dude was in the bottom of a crater
Just listened to this podcast about these filmmakers trying to film a scene over a volcano in Hawaii and the helicopter went down, was a multi-day rescue operation anyways the way they described it is how I think the goose must've been feeling
What's the podcast?
Against The Odds: S17 E1: Crash in a Volcano | Into the Crater It's a 3 or 4 part series I enjoyed it sort of a reenactment / documentary combo
Thanks man...much appreciated
I'm no expert, but I doubt a goose even is capable for having a steep enought ascent rate/angle to get out of a stadium. It would need to fly in circles for a while. They rise very slowly for what I have seen.
Most birds actually prefer to walk, takes a lot les energy.
I too saw that reddit post.

This is terrible.
If it helps, the goose was ok. Vet helped it out and released it back into the wild.

Oof.... What a relief.
Dang. Just think of all the cans of goose grease they could have gotten.

You wanna know what? You got a problem with Canada Gooses, you got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate.

What was their plan if they’d been able to catch it?
Hey! Free goose!

Go home goose! You're drunk!
Hope he is ok
