ESPN hosts Nicole Briscoe and Michael Eaves slammed the Philadelphia Phillies fan who demanded a home run ball from a young boy during a game against the Miami Marlins.

The incident occurred during Friday night’s game between the Phillies and Marlins. Phillies outfielder Harrison Bader hit a solo home run into the stands of loanDepot Park. Phillies fans in the stands made a mad dash for the ball when it appeared a man got to the ball first and gave it to his son.

A woman in a Phillies jersey was seen marching over to the family and demanding the man that he give the ball to her. The man gave the ball to the irate woman. However, it created a ton of reaction on social media.

"Oh she went after him," Briscoe said during a "SportsCenter" segment on Friday night. "She is big mad. Like he went into her space to get the ball, but she goes on and on and on. And the dad is immediately is like, ‘Well if it means that much to you,’ then he takes the ball from his kid’s glove and goes, ‘Here, you can have it.’"

Eaves appeared to be just as stunned as Briscoe, saying, "Really lady?"

"Hate to call her a Karen, but. …" Briscoe added.

Briscoe was in agreement that the woman should feel "terrible" because she took the ball from a kid.
