"A dispute over the ownership of a home run ball that landed in the bleachers at a baseball game led to an ugly confrontation that went viral and a heartwarming aftermath for the young boy who initially was given the ball. A home run by the Philadelphia Phillies' Harrison Bader in a game against the Miami Marlins on Sept. 5 landed in the seats in left field at Miami's loanDepot Park."
"Feltwell held the ball in triumph and walked back down the aisle to his seats with his children. He then happily deposited the home run ball in the baseball glove of his son, Lincoln. Seconds later, the female Phillies fan was seen on camera striding toward him and admonishing him for taking the ball. Feltwell flinched as the woman put her hand on his right arm and began gesturing in his face."

The episode left the father perplexed, the young son upset, and social media users dubbing the woman "Phillies Karen."
