The whole exchange was captured by NBC Sports Philadelphia and immediately went viral.
Fans on X labeled her a “Karen” and immediately set about identifying her.
One said, “The Phillies Karen has no idea she’s all over the internet.
“In about 5-7 business days she’ll find out on her Facebook feed.
“Bless her heart.”
While another posted, “Make Her Famous: Full blown Karen claims the ball is hers, after a Dad finally gets a home run ball for his Phillies fan son on his birthday, and demands the ball be given to her!
“The dad gave her the ball. Would you have done the same?”
The incident unfolded when Phillies star Harrison Bader hit a home run in the Phillies game against the Miami Marlins.
Fans rushed to try and retrieve the ball from an empty section of the bleachers at LoanDepot Park.
And the quick-thinking dad saw his opportunity and moved in.
He snagged the ball and gave it to his son, but was then handed the shock of his life.
A raging woman walked over and put her hand on his arm.
She then pointed angrily and made her point while the shocked dad watched on.
He eventually took the ball from his son and handed it to the woman.
And she made her way back to her seat, but not before the whole exchange had already gone viral.

Both Major League Baseball teams were clearly watching the incident unfold in real time.
A Miami Marlins staffer presented the young fan with a swag bag in the stands.
And he was then invited down to meet Bader after the game.
Bader presented the fan with a signed bat as the youngster’s family watched on.
And one fan said, “Class act by Harrison Bader, turning a tough moment into an unforgettable memory for that young Phillies fan with a signed bat!”
The incident came after a millionaire CEO snatched a cap from the grasp of a young fan at the US Open.
Piotr Szczerek apologized after the viral incident.
