Overview

• Video from the Sept. 5 Phillies–Marlins game shows dad Drew Feltwell securing Harrison Bader’s home-run ball and placing it in his 10-year-old son Lincoln’s glove before handing it to a confrontational fan to defuse the scene.
• Feltwell said the woman screamed profanities and claimed the ball was hers, and he later told Fox News he gave it up to avoid a public confrontation in front of his children.
• The Marlins provided Lincoln with a gift bag during the game, and Bader met him afterward and gave him a signed bat, according to the team and family interviews.
• Online sleuthing has wrongly named at least two women; Hammonton Public Schools officially denied that an alleged employee was involved or fired, and credible outlets report the actual identity remains unknown.
• Trading-card retailer Blowout Cards publicly offered the unidentified woman $5,000 for the ball if she signs it with “I’m sorry” so it can be returned to the child, and there has been no public response.
