A boy spends his birthday at a MLB game Friday night. The Philadelphia Phillies were playing the Miami Marlins.
His father runs to grab a home run ball hit by Philadelphia’s centerfielder Harrison Bader and gives it to the birthday boy.
Enter “Phillies Karen.”
The woman took exception to the father entering her section to get the ball and demanded it be given to her, Mediaite reported.
The entire scene was captured on video with many siding with the boy.
However, as MLB Network’s Cliff Floyd and Matt Vasgersian pointed out, the woman was not necessarily the villain in this story.
“Now we’re gonna we’re going to run it folks can have their own opinions,” Vasgersian said. “It’s in the seats OK, guy went over to get it picked it up off the ground and gave it to his son.”
“No big deal,” Floyd added.
“All right. Nice family. Oh, excuse Excuse me, sir,” Vasgersian continued.
