The internet is in meltdown mode again over a fan–sports merchandise incident, this time stemming from Friday’s (September 5) Phillies-Marlins game in Miami.
The fracas involved a father, among five other fans, rushing for a home run ball in an empty area of the stands, rescuing it, and then handing it to his son, who was there for his birthday.
Directly after, a white-haired woman stalked toward the dad-and-son duo because she felt she was entitled to the item.
Due to her handling of the situation, she has since been dubbed “Phillies Karen.”
