A therapy rabbit named Alex stole the hearts of San Francisco Giants fans after attending the baseball team’s series opener against Miami Marlins with his owners.

Sporting a dark bow tie with orange crabs to represent the Giants’ colours, four-and-a-half-month-old Alex earned some major screen time in the early innings – because it is not every day you see a bunny at a baseball game.
