The rumor mill quickly exploded, with some speculating she resembled a person who was fired by a New Jersey school district. It all began during a September 5, 2025, Phillies-Marlins game in Miami, Florida. Phillies player Harrison Bader hit a left-field home run, and fans in the stands clamored to grab the ball. As seen in footage, a woman in a Phillies jersey appeared close to grabbing the ball after it hit the seats.
