Overview
- Video from Friday’s game shows a father securing Harrison Bader’s home run ball and giving it to his son before a nearby Phillies fan confronted him and he handed the ball to her.
- The boy, identified by the Phillies as Lincoln, was at loanDepot Park celebrating his birthday.
- A Marlins staffer later visited the family in the stands to apologize and delivered a gift bag that drew cheers from the section.
- After the game, Bader met the family and gave Lincoln a signed bat, which the Phillies shared in photos on X.
- The clip went viral with users seeking to identify the woman and debating who initially had the ball, and additional footage showed her holding up the ball and making an obscene gesture; no formal action has been reported.
