The father at the center of a viral ball-snatching scandal at a Major League Baseball game has asked fans to stop harassing the thief in question.

“Please don’t do anything to that lady,’’ Drew Feltwell told USA Today Sports on Monday, September 8. “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.’’

Feltwell said hordes of people have volunteered to track down the woman, nicknamed “Phillies Karen,” who stole the ball from his young son, Lincoln.

The identity of the woman is still unknown, but Feltwell said the ridicule she’s endured on social media has already been enough.
