The woman insisted on her claim to the ball despite it being given to a child, prompting Marlins staff to compensate the child with a prize and a signed bat from Harrison Bader.
- On September 5, 2025, during a Phillies-Marlins game at LoanDepot Park in Miami, Phillies outfielder Harrison Bader hit a home run that sparked a fan conflict over the ball.
- The conflict started when a Phillies fan woman aggressively demanded a home run ball that a man had given to his young son for the boy's birthday, leading the man to reluctantly hand it over.
- Following the altercation, Marlins staff approached the boy and gifted him a deluxe prize bag, and after the game, Bader met the boy and gave him a signed bat to make amends.
- The Phillies won 9-3 that night, while SportsCenter anchor Nicole Briscoe commented, "Hate to call her a Karen, but... I don't care lady who you are," criticizing the woman's behavior.
- Although the woman faced widespread online criticism and was reportedly booed out of the stadium, the combined support from the teams and Bader helped ensure the young fan still had a memorable birthday experience.
