Overview
- During Friday’s Phillies–Marlins game in Miami, fan Drew Feltwell retrieved Harrison Bader’s home-run ball and handed it to his son, Lincoln, before a woman confronted him and left with the ball.
- Additional clips from the stands and broadcast replays have led to competing claims about possession, with the woman heard insisting the ball was in her hand and others saying the father picked it up first.
- Feltwell told NBC10 he gave up the ball to de-escalate the situation in front of his son, adding that he was “still in disbelief” at how the confrontation unfolded.
- Marlins staff later apologized to Lincoln with a ballpark goodie bag during the game, and the Phillies posted photos of Bader giving him a signed bat afterward.
- Attempts to identify the woman online have produced wrong names and denials, including a statement from Hammonton Public Schools refuting rumors, and she remains publicly unidentified as backlash continues.
