An emotional support alligator walks into a ballpark ... and is asked to leave.

That's the story that's made headlines in recent days, thanks to viral photos and videos showing Wally — a six foot long, 55 pound alligator wearing a harness and leash — and his human companion outside of Citizens Bank Park during a Phillies game on Wednesday night.

This on was outside of our ballpark. (he is usually here in the Spring....when we moved here he was a juvenile but has grown quite a bit).

I chose not to try to put a collar and leash on him.

I'm amazed kids haven't gotten hurt trying to touch them. The first time I saw this one I was walking downtown and glanced to my left. He was about 3 feet from me, just chilling.
