They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but when that 'book' is sporting a two-tone Karen cut, it's hard not to.
Such was the case yesterday in a fan dustup in Miami following a solo home run by Phillies slugger Harrison Bader.
The baseball bomb appears to have landed directly near the seat of the woman who has now been dubbed 'Phillies Karen' by the internet. A short scramble ensued, and a nearby father who ran down the row from his seat emerged victorious, displaying the prized pelota before handing it off to his son.
It was then that the woman summoned the full power of her inverted bob to confront the formerly-balled father.

Wow. Not a good look for this lady. She aggressively approached the man, placing her hand on his arm. The dumbfounded dad involuntarily Pee-wee Hermaned in response.
Look, maybe this is a generational thing, but where we come from, a baseball belongs to whoever is holding it when the scramble ends. We don't care if a fan leaps over 12 rows, risking life and limb. It's not about where you were sitting. It's about taking possession. Thems the rules.
We also don't want to imply that a haircut is predictive of a person's personality. We seriously doubt she sounds like the stereotypic- … oh, wait …

… never mind. She sounds EXACTLY like we would have expected.
'YOU TOOK IT FROM MEEEEE!'
It sounds as if there were some mixed reactions from the spectators. One man is heard shouting some less-than-friendly words at the father (we would refer him to the rules on wayward baseballs above), but the cries of 'Karen!' were almost immediate. How could they not be? Central Casting couldn't have picked a more obvious Karen.
The internet wasted no time weighing in on the Karen kerfuffle.
Scientists need to get to the bottom of this. Do those glasses and haircut make a person insufferable or do insufferable people naturally gravitate to them? https://t.co/cdnkeR10oZ

It's a great question. Which came first? The haircut or the rotten egg?
Phillies Karen is the meme of the night. https://t.co/8AvzP331jK pic.twitter.com/tE5DRYvnbY

This is what Twitter/X was made for. LOL.

HAHA!
I can’t explain exactly what it is but I can guarantee she donated to Pete Buttigieg’s presidential campaign pic.twitter.com/aE5eCXC9IR

We don't want to assume too much, but we'd say there's a high probability her finely-pressed Handmaid's Tale protest robes were hanging in her Subaru in the stadium parking lot.

Sounds about right.

LOL. STOP IT!
Unbeknownst to the ball-bearing Karen, it was about to get worse.
It turns out the kid is about to celebrate his birthday, making the already awful optics even worse for her.
After the incident was streamed live across the airwaves, Marlins management stepped in and delivered a goodie bag to the young Phillies fan.
After the home run ball was snatched from the kid, the Marlins stepped up with a gift package, and the Phillies' Bader hooked him up with a signed ball. Now that Karen looks like an even bigger POS. pic.twitter.com/vvigTXAyB5

The crowd cheered on the gesture while Phillies Karen presumably looked on with a scowl (we don't know she was scowling, but we bet she was scowling).
It got even better for the birthday boy.
This young Phillies fan gave Harrison Bader’s home run ball away

So Bader hooked him up with a signed bat after the game

The young man ended up with free gifts, a meetup with the guy who pounded the home run, and his hero's signature on a new bat.
The old bat ended up with a baseball that will forever remind her of that time she became internet famous for looking like a villain in front of the world.

You should have just let the kid keep the ball, lady.
