The Red Sox's Spring Training facilities had a surprise visit from an alligator

With the calendar turning to February, the feeling of baseball is palpable in the air. In Arizona and Florida, Spring Training is about to start and #NoOffseason will turn into actual baseball.

Pitchers and catchers may not report for another two weeks, but a non-roster non-invitee has already reported to Red Sox Spring Training in Fort Myers, Fla.

All I have to say is he better clean up those balls after he is done 😲 RT @ftmyersoxgal: Someone showed up a little early for spring training workouts @FenwaySouth #soxspring @RedSox pic.twitter.com/YfTw8qEdoC — Jackie Bradley Jr. (@JackieBradleyJr) February 1, 2018

Perhaps this reptile plans to participate in Red Sox Fantasy Camp or maybe he sees an opportunity to earn an invite to Spring Training and win a spot on the Opening Day roster. Either way, Jackie Bradley Jr. was clear: He's gotta clean up after himself. Even more importantly, he'll need to resist the urge to bite.
