It’s been a few days now since one of the oddest and most sensational moments in recent MLB times. During a game between the Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies at LoanDepot Park, a character dubbed “Phillies Karen” stole a ball from the father of a child who retrieved the ball for his son. Making matters worse is that it was Philadelphia on Philadelphia crime.
In the aftermath, memes regarding “Phillies Karen” have dominated the Internet. Memes aren’t enough for fans, though, as many have been incessantly trying to find the woman’s true identity. Her actions really struck a nerve with just about everyone, but the main culprit, Drew Feltwell, is being the bigger man.
