The Phillies Karen uproar is still very much alive. Her decision to wrestle Harrison Bader’s home run ball from the 10-year-old Lincoln proved to be costly. Videos and shots from every angle are flooding the internet as netizens are working overtime to put a name to the face. Amidst the chaos, Lincoln’s dad, Drew Feltwell, has urged the country to see how the uproar over the unidentified woman has gone too far.
First, he walked us all through what happened during the Marlins-Phillies game on Fox News Channel’s America Reports. Recently, while recalling the bittersweet night, Phillies fan Drew Feltwell recalled, “She was very vulgar. She was screaming in my ear, saying, ‘That’s my ball. That’s my section.” Feltwell, unwilling to escalate the situation any further in front of his children, didn’t think twice before handing the ball to the ‘Phillies’ Karen.
A surprising number of people insisted to Feltwell that they’d retrieve the ball from the woman on his behalf. However, he didn’t want that. Instead, he’d want the people to drop it all off.

“Please don’t do anything to that lady.” He said while speaking with USA Today. “Leave it alone. You know, somebody knows her and can talk to her; that’s different. But God, I don’t want people breaking into their house and stuff like that. The internet already messed her up pretty good,” he added. Clearly, the Phillies circle, who are already known to be intense, have been unforgiving towards the Phillies’ Karen.
It’s the second time something similar has happened in the US sporting world in the span of 10 days. Around a week earlier, one CEO snatched a hat that Polish tennis star Kamil Majchrzak tried to hand to a young fan. Then, Piotr Szczerek—CEO of a Polish paving company—initially defended his behavior. You know the aftermath.
The backlash on social media was intense until fans’ attention was directed to the loanDepot Park incident. With the woman still under scrutiny, Feltwell closed his remarks, saying, “I could say something like she got what she deserved, but I don’t know if she deserved that much.” His plea underscores the thin line between accountability and online overreach.

American company LITERALLY offered Phillies’ Karen thousands of dollars to reveal her identity
As we are inching closer to October, talking all about the Philly Karen was far from what many must have expected. Speaking of online overreach, the world has gone overboard in finding her real identity. There have been several names coming in back and forth, but none of them have been verified to be the real Phillies’ Karen.
What’s your perspective on:
Has the internet gone too far in its hunt for 'Phillies Karen,' or is it justified?
Have an interesting take?
A US-based firm named Blowout Cards has made an offer to the woman. “Attention Karen: We will pay you $5,000 for the ball we only ask that you autograph it with ‘I’m sorry.’ Please share; we would really like to get this ball to that young fan,” they publicly stated.
Blowout Cards happens to be a major trading retailer. In their detailed offer, they’ve specified clearly that the offer is 100% authentic and firm. It’s appearing to be unlikely that the woman will come out and reveal her identity.

One of the names that’s been thrown around the most was Cheryl Richardson Wagner. However, the netizens pulled the wrong Cheryl. After fans revealed her LinkedIn, address, and pictures, she came out with a clarification on her Facebook. “OK everyone… I’m NOT the crazy Philly Mom (but I sure would love to be as thin as she is and move as fast)… and I’m a Red Sox fan,” she remarked.

Then, after, another woman was brought to the spotlight. Leslie Ann Kravitz. She was rumored to be the Phillies’ Karen. But then, that too, turned out to be false. So for now, the Queen of Karens remains anonymous.
