Megan Briggs/Getty Photos A younger Philadelphia Phillies fan has been given particular baseball treats after a coveted dwelling run ball was taken away from him throughout a dispute that has gone viral.

Phillies outfielder Harrison Bader hit a house run throughout a matchup in opposition to the Miami Marlins on Friday at loanDepot Park in Miami, with the baseball flying into the stands. As followers scramble to catch the ball, footage reveals, the ball seems to land one row in entrance of a lady whereas a person runs over and grabs it. After grabbing the ball, he walks again to his seat and offers the ball to a younger boy.

The girl, who has been dubbed the "Phillies Karen" by some critics on social media, is then seen strolling over to the person. She berates him and might be heard saying, "That was mine," on one other video clip of the incident.

"You took it from me … that was in my palms," the lady is heard saying to the person. He then takes the ball again from the boy and palms it to the lady, who walks away with the ball.

It's unclear on the video whether or not the lady really grabbed the ball as soon as it landed or whether or not the person took the ball from the lady's hand.

Nonetheless, the Phillies and Marlins groups had been conscious that few issues are as thrilling for a younger fan as getting a house run ball.

An worker, described by MLB as a Marlins staffer, might be seen in a single video giving the boy a Miami Marlins reward bag full of swag after the incident, telling him "I am so sorry. [Are] you OK?" and wishing him a cheerful birthday. The person, who gave the ball to the boy initially, was reported by Philadelphia TV station NBC10 to be the boy's father, Drew Feltwell who instructed the broadcaster that his son Lincoln's birthday was just a few days away.
