Did the woman nicknamed "Phillies Karen" who yelled at a dad about a ball at a baseball game issue an apology where she flippantly said, "Yes, I got the ball. Yes, I kept it. That's how it works at

After viral clip showed a grumpy adult demanding a baseball from a kid at a Phillies game, the internet had questions.

The father at the center of the Philadelphia Phillies home run ball drama has a message to internet sleuths trying to find dirt on the woman who harassed him: leave her alone.

“Phillies Karen” has no connection to Hammonton schools, but in an experience that’s increasingly common for school districts, Hammonton leaders saw a lie spread much faster than the truth ever could. So district leaders took a creative approach, defusing the situation with some strategically placed humor.

Various Facebook posts claimed that Karen Cairny, who is a parking ticket enforcer from Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia, was the viral woman, and her name trended. However, there isn't enough evidence for that claim, nor has Cairny admitted that she was the woman in the video.

A post from the district joked that someone who worked there would "obviously have caught the ball bare-handed in the first place."

The father involved in the infamous "Phillies Karen" moment wants internet users to stop trying to find the identity of the woman who confronted him.

The moment has gone viral online, where people are bashing the woman − dubbed "the Phillies Karen" − and defending the man. The outrage has grown so fierce that the man, Drew Feltwell, has spoken out urging the public to leave the woman alone.
