Phillies Karen
In a September 6, 2025 baseball game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Miami Marlins, Harrison Bader planted a home run in the left field stands. After a light skirmish, a man emerged with the ball, gifting it to his young son who was celebrating his birthday. A fellow Phillies fame stormed down the row, grabbed his arm, and berating the father, yelling in his face “That’s my ball”. Seeing the Karen in her final form, he relented and handed over the ball. Thankfully, the broadcast witnessed this and both teams rewarded the boy, the Marlins with a gift bag and the Phillies with a meet with Bader and a baseball bat signed by him. This costume pairs well with the millionaire CEO who snatched a tennis hat from a young boy at this year’s US Open.
