Trading Card Retailer Offers $5,000 to Phillies Fan for Return of Home Run Ball Taken From Child

A woman dubbed the 'Phillies Karen' went viral after aggressively demanding and taking a home run ball from a 10-year-old boy, Lincoln Feltwell, during a Phillies vs. Marlins game, leading to widespread social media backlash. Blowout Cards, a sports trading card retailer, offered the woman $5,000 to return the ball, with the condition that she signs it with an apology inscription to give it back to Lincoln. The incident occurred when Lincoln's father, Drew Feltwell, retrieved the ball for his son's birthday, but the woman confronted and berated him until he reluctantly handed the ball over to her to de-escalate the situation. Despite the loss, the Phillies and Marlins teams supported Lincoln by gifting him a swag bag, a replacement baseball, and an autographed bat from Phillies player Harrison Bader, who had hit the home run. The woman remains unidentified and has not responded to the offer, while multiple women have denied being the 'Phillies Karen.' The offer from Blowout Cards stands firm, emphasizing the goal of returning the ball to the young fan along with an apology.
