New video showed what an enraged Phillies fan said to a father she berated to hand over a home run ball he had just given to his son.
The father corralled a home run ball that Harrison Bader hit into the left field stands during the Phillies-Marlins game Friday night at loanDepot park and then gave it to his son, Lincoln, a few seats away, before the two shared a heartwarming hug.
But the woman subsequently charged at the father, grabbed his shoulders and demanded the ball back, seemingly under the belief she was entitled to it since it was closer to her seat.
“That was mine. You took it from me,” she yelled at the father. “It was in my hands.”
It was not clear that the ball was ever actually in the woman’s hands, though.
And multiple fans raced to try and capture the ball — not just the woman.

Still, the father gave the ball to her before shooing her away back to her seat.
A Marlins representative later came to the section, apologized to Lincoln — who was celebrating his birthday — and gave him a “goodie bag” with various gifts.
“That was not OK,” the Marlins rep said to Lincoln. “So we brought you a cool little goodie bag. …I’m so sorry.”
After the game, Bader met up with Lincoln and gifted him a signed bat.
The incident quickly went viral on social media.
It comes amid a string of similar incidents at other sporting events.

At the U.S. Open last week, Polish millionaire Piotr Szczerek snatched an autographed hat that tennis star Kamil Majchrzak intended to give to a young boy.
Majchrzak later met up with the young boy and gave him a gift bag.
A Mets fan also went viral from grabbing a ball from an older fan at Citi Field.
