Argument about the ball at the Phillies-Marlins game: a woman and a man in a red shirt
7 september 2025 в 17:13
It all started during the Phillies-Marlins game on September 5, 2025 in Miami, Florida. Phillies player Harrison Bader hit a home run to left field, and fans in the stands reached for the ball. As seen in the video, a woman in a Phillies jersey appeared close to catching the ball after it bounced off the seats. But a man in a red jersey was faster and grabbed it to give to a boy, presumably his son.
After hugging the child and handing him the ball, the woman approached the man and grabbed his hand to scold him for the ball. She seemed to be shouting, «You took it from me! You took it from me! It was in my hands». Seconds later, the man gave in and handed her the ball.
No, the woman is not Cheryl Richardson-Wagner, despite initial rumors that spread due to their resemblance. Cheryl took to social media to clear her name, stating that she is not even a Phillies fan.
«Alright, all… I am NOT the crazy Phillies mom (but I wish I was that skinny and fast)», - Cheryl wrote in a public statement.

No, the woman was never part of the Hammonton Public School District in New Jersey. Some internet users started a rumor, and the school quickly debunked it in a public statement, according to Breaking Atlantic County.
«Anyone who works in our school district, attended as a student, or lives in our community would obviously have caught the ball barehanded from the start, avoiding this whole situation», - the district’s statement said. The school added that the woman «is not and has never been an employee of the Hammonton Public Schools» and concluded that «social media and news reports claiming otherwise are false».
As of the time of publication, «Phyllis Karen» had not yet been identified. No one knows who she is
