The woman who embarrassed herself by nearly ruining a kid’s birthday, demanding a home run ball back after his father secured it fair and square, has been identified.

The female, who earned the nickname Phillies “Karen,” went viral during Friday night’s game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Miami Marlins after chasing a man who scooped up a home run ball for his kid.

It’s believed that the youngster was either celebrating his birthday or enjoying a countdown to his big day, so his night couldn’t have gotten any better after a man thought to be his dad got him a home run ball in the fourth inning – except it did, although it got a lot worse first.

The female Phillies fan followed his dad and berated him, claiming he took it from her hand, which did not appear to happen. But he still took the ball from the kid and handed it to her to avoid any escalation.

Phillies “Karen” Identified After Another Woman Is Wrongfully Accused

The woman in question has since been identified by a Twitter/X user as Cheryl Richardson Wagner, whom she even called.

The user said “She didn’t deny it… she immediately said: “Ugh, I don’t know why people are saying that’s me. Claims she’s NEVER even been to a Phillies game.”

“I offered to clear her name if she’d send me a pic or even a redacted ID. Instead… she hung up. HELLO CHERYL KAREN RICHARDSON WAGNER!” she added in a since-deleted Tweet.

Others have seemed to confirm that this is in face Cheryl Wagner.

The woman believed to be Wagner ultimately left the ballpark with the ball. The kid, whose name is said to be Lincoln, got a gift bag from the Marlins, while Harrison Bader also signed a bat for him.
Meanwhile, a woman who was wrongly identified as Phillies “Karen” has spoken out.
