The talk of Major League Baseball all weekend was an incident in the stands at a Philadelphia Phillies game.
The Philadelphia Phillies-Miami Marlins series over the weekend will be remembered most of all because of an incident that didn’t occur between the white lines.
On a home run by Phillies outfielder Harrison Bader on Friday night, there was a scramble for the ball in the LoanDepot Park left field bleachers. The ball wound up being picked up by a Phillies fan named Drew Feltwell, who ran over to his 10-year-old son, Lincoln, and handed him the ball.
However, a woman also dressed in Phillies gear, whose identity has not been verified by Newsweek, ran up to the father and son and demanded the baseball, which Drew reluctantly told Lincoln to give up to de-escalate the situation.
