The San Francisco Giants opened their home schedule against the Seattle Mariners this weekend, but the action on the field isn’t the only thing that has fans talking.
Alex the Great, a 28-pound therapy rabbit, made the rounds at Oracle Park on Saturday. The Bay Area native has been to a Giants game before, making his first appearance there back on April 22, 2021.
Still, fans and reporters online were awe-struck by the massive bunny. Once Alex got caught on the TV broadcast, several clips and pictures began to circulate on social media.
“All those who come up and pet that rabbit, they all have the same reaction,” said Giants announcer Mike Krukow. “They smile, immediately.”
The Giant therapy rabbit is back at Oracle Park.
“Whoever discovered the beauty of the therapy animal is — a special place in Heaven for. It is remarkable what animals can do to relieve anxiety and depression.”
