The tense standoff over a home run ball in Miami on Friday night has now been fully revealed through several new viral clips.

Filmed by astonished spectators in the stands of LoanDepot Park, the up-close video captures a woman confronting a man who had outsmarted her for the home run ball hit by Philadelphia Phillies centerfielder Harrison Bader into the left-field seats.

The incident initially gained widespread attention on Friday when Florida’s FanDuel Sports Network cameras captured the man, a fan of the Phillies, retrieving the baseball from his son and passing it to the upset woman, who was also a Phillies fan. She snatched the ball and walked off.

Now, thanks to quick-thinking fans seated in the left-field stands, the woman’s furious pleas for the baseball have been exposed.

‘That was ours,’ the belligerent woman yelled at the man.

The man, after gesturing towards his son to whom he had originally given the ball, attempted to explain that she hadn’t actually caught the memento. However, this explanation did not seem to satisfy her.

The woman didn't see the loose ball as fair game, but rather claimed she had it in her hand

‘No, you took it from me!’ she yelled in response. ‘You took it from me! That was in my hands. That was in my hands.’

It was at this point that the man relented, taking the baseball from his disappointed son and handing it to the woman.

The dialogue abruptly ended with both parties saying: ‘Bye.’

Several onlookers also got in a few words, including one who yelled, ‘glad you earned that,’ to the woman.

Another man repeatedly called her a ‘Karen!’

This was just the latest in a series of fan disputes across American sports, including two men quarrelling over a ball at a New York Mets game and the notorious incident at the US Open in which a man snatched a tennis pro’s hat that was intended for a young boy.

The Marlins did make amends with the man and his family by offering a gift bag a few innings later. Then, after the Phillies’ 9-3 win, the boy got the chance to meet Bader and receiver an autographed bat.

Fittingly, it was later revealed that the boy was celebrating his birthday.  

Several online accounts claimed the woman and her male companion were booed until they left the game.

Meanwhile, Phillies fans were irate at the woman fan’s behavior, with multiple negative reactions on social media.

‘That guy did nothing wrong and should have told that woman to step off,’ said one user on X.

Another wrote, ‘Lady was 5 seconds from asking to talk to a manager. F***ing nonsense he gave that up.’

‘What is wrong with that lady? She is a disgrace,’ another said.

The woman has not been identified publicly, but according Philadelphia Flyers reporter Haley Taylor Simon, that’s only a matter of time. 

‘The Phillies Karen has no idea she’s all over the internet,’ Simon wrote. ‘In about 5-7 business days she’ll find out on her Facebook feed. Bless her heart.’
