Wally, a friendly alligator with tens of thousands of social media followers, recently visited the Philadelphia Phillies baseball stadium with his owner, Joie Henney. Wally isn't just a pet; he's considered by Joie as an 'emotional support' animal and is well-known for his calm and affectionate nature, frequently seen in social media posts giving hugs and kisses to people.

They didn't intend to watch the game that day but hoped to introduce the players to the gentle alligator. However, their plans took a different turn. The stadium has strict rules about animals, only allowing certain service animals inside.

Despite Wally's gentle nature and popularity, he and Joie were not permitted entry. Undeterred, Joie mentioned they'd try again another time, hopeful for a future meeting between the players and Wally. Their unusual yet heartwarming story continues to capture the public's attention, spreading smiles online.
