The viral moment showed Drew Feltwell run toward a home run hit by Phillies outfielder Harrison Bader. He beat out about four people for the souvenir. He then gave it to his son and shared in the special moment. But before the moment could sink in, an irate female Phillies fan marched over to Feltwell and his family and demanded that they give her the ball instead.

"I can’t even repeat that on air. She was very vulgar," he recalled. "Screaming right in my ear that, you know, lotta bad words and, ‘That’s my ball.’ That was her section and trying to tell me she had the right to that ball.
