Blowout Cards offers $5K reward for Phillies home run ball
In a heartwarming twist amid a challenging scenario, Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Harrison Bader stepped up to make a young fan’s day unforgettable. During a recent game against the Miami Marlins, Drew Feltwell and his son Lincoln found themselves in a difficult situation after the boy caught a home run ball hit by Bader. Tensions rose when another fan sought to reclaim the treasured souvenir, but Bader’s response was nothing short of exemplary. He not only presented the Feltwell family with a signed bat but also brightened Lincoln’s spirits with additional gifts from the Marlins organization.
A Unique Offer for a Special Ball
Days later, the story continued to gain traction, drawing attention not only for its emotional aspects but also for a unique offer from Blowout Cards. The company announced on its website that it is prepared to offer $5,000 for the baseball, but there’s an intriguing twist to their proposal. They are requesting that the ball be inscribed with “I’m sorry” by the woman who initially sought to take it from the child.
“Dad grabbed a home run ball for his son, she wanted it back … and now BlowoutCards.com needs it,” the company stated, emphasizing their intention to return the ball to Lincoln. “We’ll offer $5,000 for that baseball right here, right now … but there is a catch. 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.”
The Internet Reacts
The request has sparked considerable interest online, with the Phillies’ original tweet about the incident garnering over 19 million views. Fans and commentators alike are rallying to identify the individual who holds the ball, as the internet does what it does best—fostering a community in pursuit of a heartwarming resolution.
While it remains uncertain whether the holder of the baseball will part with it for Blowout Cards’ substantial offer, the hope is palpable. Lincoln deserves to have the ball that symbolizes a memorable moment in his young life, and many are eager to help make that happen.
As the story unfolds, one thing is clear: the baseball world is watching closely, hoping to see this young fan reunited with what rightfully belongs to him.
