Trading card retailer Blowout Cards is offering the now infamous Philadelphia Phillies ‘Karen’ a $5,000 reward for the home run ball she took away from a young boy and his father this past weekend.

But there’s a major catch. Perhaps one that could ultimately redeem her public image.

For those who have essentially been living under a rock, the Phillies Karen became a viral sensation when her sense of entitlement got the best of her after a ball was hit deep into the stands by center fielder Harrison Bader in a game against the Miami Marlins.

The ball was hit in her vicinity, though it appears to have never touched her hands. At which point, the unwritten laws of baseball fans decree that it is fair game. The souvenir ultimately bounced into the hands of dad Drew Feltwell, who promptly handed it to his young son for an early birthday present.

Karen, as she has become known, stomped over to Feltwell and his son, armed only with her Rosie O’Donnell glasses and a sense of privilege likely ingrained in her from youth, and demanded her prize.

The father, wanting to diffuse the situation, took the ball from his son and gave it to her.

So, What’s the Catch?

Blowout Cards, a major trading card retailer, has now stepped into the public discourse on the matter, offering the Phillies Karen a few thousand dollars for the ball she never earned.

$5,000 for a baseball that somebody else actually put the effort into getting. Not bad. Not eye-popping, but not bad.

They just need Karen to do one little thing. Add two itty-bitty words to the home run ball so the company can give it back to the kid.

“We’ll offer $5,000 for that baseball right here, right now … but there is a catch,” a statement on their site reads.

“We want that ball signed and inscribed by her – and only her, whoever she is – ‘I’m sorry’ so we can simply give it back to the kid. Our offer is official and the offer is firm.”

Time to Leave Her Alone

The offer to the Phillies Karen isn’t exactly picking up steam – yet. The company might get more traction if it offered a little more cabbage. Though maybe there isn’t enough money in the world for this woman to come forward and admit her behavior was mind-numbingly terrible.

But it’s almost certain she’s not going to ruin her life even more for just $5K.

For his part, the dad involved in the altercation is again taking the high road, urging so-called “internet sleuths” (i.e. “losers”) to stop trying to track her down.

“Please don’t do anything to that lady,’’ he said in an interview with USA Today. “Leave it alone. You know, somebody knows her and can talk to her, that’s different.”

“But God, I don’t want people breaking in their house and stuff like that. The internet already messed her up pretty good.’’

You know what? He’s right. People trying to out the Phillies Karen are acting no better than she did the night she decided to make a scene. Everybody makes mistakes. If the Dad says to let it go, people need to let it go.

Anthony D’Angelo, a professor of public relations at the Newhouse School of Public Communications and an expert in crisis communication, suggests the woman should pen the words ‘I’m sorry’ in a different manner, if she’d like to rehab her image.

“My counsel to her would be to reach out to those most affected, i.e., the young boy and his father. Do it directly and privately,” D’Angelo states. “Perhaps send them the ball with a letter of apology, saying that her emotions got the better of her and that it was wrong to demand the ball. Wish the boy and his father well and apologize for upsetting their day at the ballpark.

“If the father and son want to make the apology public, they can—the woman should not.”

Sage counsel she may want to consider.
