PhilliesMarlins Home-Run Ball Dispute Leads to Doxxing, Official Denials and $5,000 Offer

Officials have debunked viral claims of firings or stadium bans.

Overview

  • The woman's identity remains unconfirmed as online sleuthing has produced misidentifications, with at least one wrongly accused woman publicly denying involvement after harassment.
  • Hammonton Public Schools issued an official statement saying the person in the video is not, and has never been, an employee, refuting posts that claimed she was fired.
  • Fact-checks found no verified bans from NFL or MLB venues despite widely shared fabricated posts invoking the Eagles, the Braves and prominent figures.
  • Collectibles site BlowoutCards.com offered $5,000 for the baseball on the condition the woman signs it with “Lo siento” so it can be returned to the child.
  • Lincoln Feltwell’s father says he gave up the ball to defuse the confrontation in front of his son and later urged people not to harass the woman online.
