Blowout Cards, a major trading card retailer, said it will pay $5,000 to the Phillies fan who took a Harrison Bader home-run ball away from a 10-year-old boy after yelling at his father in the stands during Friday night’s 9-3 win over the Marlins.

“But there is a catch,” the company said the next day in a proposal on its website.

“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.”

The woman’s identity remains unknown.

"The woman’s identity remains unknown."

In this day and age, how the hell is that even possible?

I don’t know the circumstances as I don’t follow sports[purposely], but the taking might constitute theft.

For 5 grand....she’ll do it...the ball only means she played the female card and won. She’s a witch with a capital “B”.

The “B” is silent in “itch”.

The birthday boy’s dad ended up with the ball. He handed it to his son. The lady came and threw a hissy fit, so the dad handed the ball to her and she went away. The home team came by with a basket of stuff for the kid. Then that batter presented the kid with the signed bat.

Yeh...she has to prove it’s the ball, too. DNA is the only way.

I have a theory about the first woman who said it wasn’t her because Karen is so much slimmer. Well, if that photo is old, maybe Wagner is the right person, but she’s lost weight since that photo.

To your point though, somebody knows who she is and is protecting her privacy.

It would have to be an in person meeting...problem is, she’s no doubt changed her looks so much by now for purposes of anonymity she’s probably not recognizable from the video.

The 5 grand will never be paid out because they won’t be able to verify it.

Yep, it was amazing how quick it turned on her. The kid and his father came out looking classy and were rewarded for it.

I saw someone with pink hair instead of white on the internet. Wouldn’t surprise me if she dyed her hair, especially blue or pink.

I have no idea how she’s not identified yet. But I bet the CIA can take some pointers from her because she’s doing a great job keeping herself unknown even after a clear shot of her face has been available to the entire general public of the world for about 72 hours now

Okay, I have never been to a baseball game so I don’t know crap, but didn’t he come running in from the end of the section to get the ball that was near the ladies feet? Is that a normal thing when the ball goes into the stands?

I don’t believe it either.

The left is simply protecting their own.

The father came out looking like a total wimp if you asked me. I know it’s easy to chest thump and act like a bad ass on the Internet when you are not in that situation, but I think I can safely say that I would’ve not acquiesced to her the way he did.

IMO, the dad should have stood up to her.

Fighting with a screeching Karen in today’s environment would make him look bad. He took the high road and I can’t fault him for it.

He probably saw two recent men get torn to shreds in the internet (one lost his job) over similar stuff and it wasn’t worth it.
