WRIGLEY FIELD — There’s a new bleacher bum at Wrigley Field. A Canada goose took up residence in a planter box in deep centerfield, forcing the Cubs to block off a section of bleacher seats Saturday to keep the peace. The goose made a nest under the famed centerfield scoreboard’s right side. Its black and white head poked out over the evergreens in the concrete planter, surveying the 35,000 fans on hand.
