A Phillies fan tried — and failed — to bring an emotional support alligator to a game

An emotional support alligator got bounced from a sporting event — and the spectacle actually didn't take place in Florida.

It was a Philadelphia Phillies fan who reportedly attempted to enter Citizens Bank Park with a leashed reptile to watch the playoff-bound team's 7-6 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. Apparently, "service animal" privileges didn't apply.

Are you kidding me. A #Phillies fan tried to come into game tonight with what they said was a “service animal.” An Alligator! Yes an Alligator. Thing’s I’ve never seen.
