The whole incident was captured by NBC Sports Philadelphia and immediately went viral.
Phillies star Harrison Bader hit a home run into the stands at Miami Marlins’ LoanDepot Park.
A female spectator was beaten to the ball by a jubilant dad – who gave the ball to his son.
But the angry woman marched over to remonstrate.
The dad ended up giving her the ball to avoid further confrontation.
New footage has emerged of the woman making her way back to her seat.
She was seen giving a middle finger gesture to fans in the area who witnessed the incident.
Another angle from the stands seemingly captured what the woman said.
“That was mine,” she yelled. “You took it from me.
“It was in my hands.”
The father looked stunned and ended up giving the ball to her.
His son was left disappointed by being forced to give up the home run ball.
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!”
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.”
