San Francisco is throwing some shade at Philadelphia in a delightful turn of events.
During a thrilling game where the Giants triumphed over the Diamondbacks 11-6, a heartwarming moment unfolded when a male fan, wearing a striking white hat, snagged a foul ball and promptly gave it to a young girl sitting nearby. This act of generosity quickly caught the attention of the Giants’ TV affiliate, @NBCSGiants, who cheekily proclaimed on social media, "No Karens at our ballpark!"
The jab was aimed at the infamous "Phillies Karen," who gained notoriety after a viral incident in Miami where she berated a father for securing a ball for his child. This confrontation became a spectacle as it played out among a group of fans, highlighting the sometimes heated passions surrounding America's pastime.
Social media erupted in reaction to the incident, with many attempting to track down the woman involved, often misidentifying her. One sports collectibles company even stepped into the fray, offering a whopping $5,000 for the very ball that "Karen" took, but with a twist—they want her to inscribe an apology on it for little Lincoln Feltwell, the boy who missed out due to her outburst.
Adding to the feel-good story, Lincoln recently had a chance to meet Harrison Bader, the player who hit the home run for the ball in question, and even received a signed bat, making his day truly unforgettable.
Meanwhile, Lincoln's father, Drew Feltwell, has urged others to refrain from targeting the unidentified woman, stating, "Please don’t do anything to that lady. Leave it alone. The internet has already done enough damage." His plea serves as a reminder of the fine line between fandom and personal accountability.
As for the Giants, they are finding themselves in a promising position this season, now just two games shy of clinching a wild-card spot in the National League as their rivals, the Mets, continue to struggle.
