Overview

• Harrison Bader’s fourth-inning home run into the Citizens Bank Park stands led to a scramble in which Drew Feltwell secured the ball for his son, Lincoln, attending for his 10th birthday.
• Drew Feltwell says he surrendered the souvenir after a woman confronted the pair and repeatedly claimed the ball, explaining he wanted to defuse the situation for his son’s sake.
• Marlins staff provided Lincoln a gift bag during the game, and Bader later met the family and presented the boy with a signed bat.
• Television and fan videos of the confrontation drew millions of views on social platforms, and the woman at the center of the dispute became the target of online abuse and attempted doxxing.
• Users’ efforts to identify the woman led to misidentification of uninvolved people, and there are no reports of stadium sanctions or legal action in the coverage.
