Blowout Cards Offers $5,000 for ‘Phillies Karen’ Ball as Dad Urges Public to Back Off

No credible source has verified the woman’s identity despite viral speculation.

Overview

  • The trading-card retailer says it will pay $5,000 if the woman signs the baseball with “I’m sorry,” after which the ball would be returned to the child.
  • Drew Feltwell, who relinquished the Harrison Bader home run ball to defuse a confrontation, asked people to stop harassing or doxxing the woman.
  • Teams stepped in after the incident, with the Miami Marlins providing gifts and Bader meeting the boy and giving him a signed bat.
  • Multiple online identifications have proved false, including claims about Cheryl Richardson-Wagner and Leslie Ann Kravitz, and a New Jersey school district formally denied the woman worked there.
  • Reports of a public apology or statements from the woman remain unverified, and there has been no confirmed response to the $5,000 offer.
