"James Harden plays for Philly and they wanna complain about traveling?" - Fans roast Philadelphia Phillies mascot calling out Jazz Chisholm for traveling in his basketball-inspired celebration

It's a tough time to be a mascot in the MLB, as the Philadelphia Phillies mascot discovered when he attempted to call Miami Marlins star Jazz Chisholm for a foul.

Jomboy Media posted a video of the interaction that sparked plenty of reactions, including an instant one from Jazz Chisholm.

Jazz Chisholm can be seen clearly disputing the call, but the Philadelphia Phillies mascot remains steadfast in his decision that it is in fact a travel. This fun interaction between a mascot and an opposing player is a part of what makes baseball so fun, and the fan interaction it generated is proof.
