A Philadelphia Phillies fan caused uproar during the team’s game against the Miami Marlins after she confronted a father who had handed a home run ball to his young son.
The incident, captured on NBC Sports Philadelphia cameras, quickly went viral across social media.
The moment unfolded when Phillies star Harrison Bader hit a home run into the stands at LoanDepot Park. Fans rushed toward the section, and one quick-thinking dad managed to grab the ball and hand it to his son.
However, a nearby woman walked over angrily, put her hand on the man’s arm, and demanded he surrender the ball.
Under pressure, the father reluctantly took the ball back from his son and handed it over. The woman then returned to her seat as the crowd looked on, but not before the exchange had been broadcast and widely shared online.
The story took a brighter turn after the game, when staff from the Miami Marlins presented the boy with a swag bag.
He was then invited to meet Harrison Bader, who gifted him a signed bat as his family watched on.
