$5,000 and an Apology For “Phillies Karen”?

By now you’ve no doubt seen the viral clip of “Phillies Karen” yanking that home run ball away from a 10 year old kid and his hapless father. In case you somehow missed it, here was our original report: “Phillies Karen” Receives Major Backlash After Taking Home Run Ball From Young Child And surprisingly, to the best of my knowledge, the woman has not yet been identified. The Internet is almost undefeated, but somehow the woman seemingly is still un-identified. Yahoo News reports there have been a few mis-identifications though: As the video of her initial confrontation with Feltwell spread across social media over the weekend, online sleuths searching for the real “Phillies Karen” apparently misidentified her. “OK everyone, I’m NOT the crazy Philly Mom (but I sure would love to be as thin as she is and move as fast),” Cheryl Richardson-Wagner posted on Facebook Saturday. “And I’m a Red Sox fan!” A New Jersey school district also issued a statement saying that the woman in question does not work for the school system. “The woman identified on social media as ‘Phillies Karen’ is not, and has never been an employee of the Hammonton Public Schools located in Hammonton, New Jersey,” the district said in a Facebook post. “Anyone who works for our school district, attended as a student or lives in our community would obviously have caught the ball bare-handed in the first place, avoiding this entire situation!” Enter Blowout Cards, a major trading card retailer, who just made an offer to "Phillies Karen"... They're offering her $5,000 if she hands over the ball with an apology: From @TheAthletic: Blowout Cards, a major trading card retailer, made an offer to the Philadelphia Phillies fan who took a home-run ball away from a child after berating the boy’s father: $5000 if she hands it over with “I’m sorry” on it. https://t.co/kLKO7vxGgn — The New York Times (@nytimes) September 8, 2025 Here is their actual post and offer: Attention Karen :We will you pay $5,000 for the ball we only ask that you autograph it “I’m sorry “ pic.twitter.com/tDcbNs8cwxPlease share we would really like to get this ball to that young fan. — BLOWOUTCARDS (@blowoutcards) September 6, 2025 With all credit to BLOWOUTCARDS for the thought, I don't like it. The woman does NOT deserve $5,000. The boy already got much better gifts from the team and doesn't need this tarnished ball. Their heart's in the right place but I vote no deal! RELATED REPORT: Dad Reveals Why He Gave Baseball Back To “Phillies Karen” The father, who was yelled at by a woman at a Phillies game after getting a home run ball for his son, is speaking out why he ended up giving the ball to the unhinged "Karen" who yelled at him.

She had no problem climbing over that seat to go stalk that man down and scream at him in front of his child. pic.twitter.com/cPC2yv4ZRj — HURL-agel My Bagel (@HurlWorld) September 6, 2025 In the interview the father simply shared he didn't want the situation to esculate which is why he decided to give the ball to her. LAD Bible broke the interview down: A father has explained why he handed over a home run baseball he was about to give to his son to an angry baseball fan. Drew Feltwell had attempted to give his son a home run ball hit by Philadelphia Phillies' Harrison Bader during Friday’s game, which he said they were attending for their son, Lincoln's, 10th birthday, when a woman angrily confronted him. During an interview with NBC10, he insisted that he reached for the ball from the seats in left field, and as he walked away, a female fan 'in the seat behind' claimed it was hers. "I don’t know if she was standing up. Maybe?" he said. "But I was watching the ball from almost the bat to where it went into that seat and kind of jumbled around and I was already going in and coincidentally, as soon as I was going in, it stopped in one spot and I just picked it up." He said as he walked back to his family to give Lincoln the ball, the woman chased him down and demanded the ball back. Providing his version of events, he added: "I didn’t even see her walk up, and as she reached for my arm, she just yelled in my ear, ‘That’s my ball!’ like super loud. "I jumped out of my skin, and I was like, you know, like ‘Why are you here?’ you know, ‘Go away.’ And she’s like, ‘That’s my ball! You stole out of – those are from our seats.’ "And I said, ‘There was nobody in that seat,’ you know. She said, ‘That’s from where we were sitting,’ and she just went on and on." The father said he didn't want to make the situation worse as he 'pretty much just wanted her to go away'. "I don’t even remember what she said, it was, you know, a lot of eyes on us by that time and the ball was already in his glove and she just wouldn’t stop," Drew explained.
