‘Don’t Do Anything to that Lady,’ Says Father Who Was Angrily Confronted by Another Fan During Viral Home Run Ball Incident
Andrew Feltwell and his son Lincoln faced a confrontation over a home run ball at a Phillies-Marlins game; the family later received team gifts and a signed bat from Harrison Bader.
- A heated confrontation occurred on September 5, 2025, at a Miami Phillies-Marlins game when father Andrew Feltwell gave his son Lincoln a home run ball.
- The altercation began after a woman, later dubbed 'Phillies Karen,' demanded the ball, claiming it had landed at her feet, leading Feltwell to reluctantly hand it over.
- The incident went viral, drawing widespread criticism primarily toward the woman, whose identity remains unknown and who was falsely rumored to work for Hammonton Public Schools in New Jersey.
- Harrison Bader of the Phillies connected for a homer, and afterward surprised Lincoln with an autographed bat, while both teams also presented the boy with gifts to ensure a positive experience.
- Feltwell described feeling shocked by the encounter but apologized to his son for giving the ball away, and noted the family would accept an apology if the woman came forward.
