PHILADELPHIA, PA — It's the baseball play that has caught fire on social media after fans fought over a home run baseball that went into the stands during a Philadelphia Phillies game.

Drew Feltwell went back to his seat and gave the ball to his young son, Lincoln.

After the boy got the ball, one of the fans who was scrambling to nab it approached Fetlwell, and Feltwell's reaction was pure surprise. Watch it unfold here.

The fan, sporting a gray bob haircut and a Phillies jersey, reportedly told Fetlwell the ball was hers because it landed at her seat.

Feltwell told NBC10 he gave her the ball to defuse the situation. However, the Marlins and Phillies stepped up to give Lincoln an even better souvenir: a goodie bag of swag, a meeting with Bader himself, and a Bader-signed baseball bat.

But should Feltwell have given Phillies "Karen" the ball back. Take our Patch poll below
