Joie Henney of Jonestown, Pennsylvania, attempted to bring his emotional support alligator, WallyGator, to a Phillies game, but was denied entrance due to the team's policy on support animals. WallyGator has become a popular animal on social media, and Henney believes that he should be allowed to attend the game. Unfortunately, the Phillies' policy on support animals will not be changing anytime soon, and WallyGator was not allowed to enter the stadium.
