A trading card retailer has offered the woman now known as “Phillies Karen” $5,000 for the baseball she berated a poor father into giving to her during Friday night’s Phillies game against the Marlins. They just have one stipulation in order for her to receive the payment.
“We’ll offer $5,000 for that baseball right here, right now … but there is a catch,” trading card retailer Blowout Cards wrote. “We want that ball signed and inscribed by her — and only her, whoever she is — ‘I’m sorry’ so we can simply give it back to the kid. Our offer is official and the offer is firm — here’s our tweet noting it all and making the offer public.”
The boy was at the game with his dad Drew Feltwell for his birthday. Feltwell said that after he got the baseball, which was hit for a home run hit by the Phillies’ Harrison Bader, he told NBC Philadelphia that he “felt like Superdad putting that ball in his glove and giving him a hug.”
“I wish I had the ball for my son to put in his room next to the bat, but if I had the ball, I probably wouldn’t have gotten the bat, so it worked out fine,” Feltwell added, referring to the bat Harrison Bader ended up giving his son after hearing about the “Phillies Karen” debacle. Now, if she takes up Blowout Cards on their offer, he will be able to put the ball next to the bat.
Somehow, “Phillies Karen” has evaded being positively identified by the internet, despite going viral to a level rarely achieved. The dad even ended up on Good Morning America talking about the incident.
Despite her nastiness, Feltwell doesn’t want anyone doing anything bad to “Phillies Karen,” even if she did give the crowd the middle finger after being booed for taking the baseball from his son.
This Phillies fan just proved how entitlement turns into chaos. Imagine demanding a ball from a kid, then doubling down by screaming in strangers’ faces. Sports should unite us—not showcase the ugliest sides of fandom. #Phillies #MLB pic.twitter.com/iCVZP3ZzLI

“Please don’t do anything to that lady,” Feltwell told USA Today on Monday. “Leave it alone. You know, somebody knows her and can talk to her, that’s different. But God, I don’t want people breaking in their house and stuff like that. The internet already messed her up pretty good.”
