Bader recounts retrieving a home run ball for his son Lincoln's birthday, only to be confronted by a woman demanding its return despite the Phillies already offering replacements. Although he surrendered the ball to avoid public regret, the crowd booed her out of the stadium. The host questions this capitulation while Bader explicitly labels the woman a "total Democrat" and "progressive," comparing her appearance to Elizabeth Warren and criticizing MSNBC personalities, ultimately framing the incident as a clash between entitlement and community norms.

Birthday Ball Reset00:09:15
Sometimes you need that reset.
And Bader just unbloads on this one.
Deep left field and that one is gone as Bader goes back to back with Brandon.
What a long home run to left for Harrison Bader.
You see that dude's reaction?
It's his 15th of the year and his third since joining the Phillies.
five to one so he gives the ball What kind of man is that?
Okay, and turns out this is his kid's birthday.
That's why the diarrhea.
And this is why he got those seats in that area because he won an on-run ball for his kid on his birthday.
Karen gets in his face, does all this, and gives the ball back to him.
Why did he give the ball to her?
Oh, no, but they interview him and ask him, why did you get the ball?
But actually, the Phillies gave the kid a ball and everything and said, apologizing and everything.
Got him a goodie bag.
Baseball.
Couple days.
Yeah, so he met some players too, to make up for what happened.
Wow.
Right.
So, but anyway, why the hell did he give that baseball to that lady?
Well, you might find out they interviewed the dad.
It's like, man, why did you do that?
That night when that ball hit.
We were out in the home run seats trying to snag a ball for his birthday week.
And as soon as it cracked off the bat, it was starting to head our way a little bit.
So I walked to my right, walked to my right, walked to my, and I thought, oh, crap, it's coming.
And I walked down a couple of seats and it fell and kind of bobbled between the two armrests.
And I picked it up.
And as I was pulling away, two other hands came.
And I mean, I didn't really care at that point.
I just walked away and held the ball up high and put it in Lincoln's glove and was hoping he'd be on the Megatron TV or whatever.
And then she showed up.
So you walked back over to your seat.
You gave the ball to Lincoln.
She came over a couple minutes later.
What was she saying to you?
No, it was like, it was like 10 seconds or 15 seconds later.
She was quick.
Sure.
She definitely scurried on over.
What did she say?
I didn't even see her walk up.
And as she reached for my arm, she just yelled in my ear, that's my ball, like super loud.
Why are you going to do that?
Your kids here jumped out of my skin.
Yeah, because it started him.
He's like.
Hey, Kim, you magic.
Somebody break into his room at night.
Him and his wife lay in the bed.
Somebody comes in.
He's like, poor guy.
I was like, you know, like, why are you here?
You know, go away.
And then she's like, that's my ball.
You stole it out of out of, those are from our seats.
I said, there was nobody in that seat.
You know, she said, that's from where we were sitting.
And yeah, whenever somebody hits a home run, all the fans are literally fighting for the ball.
Right.
Nobody's entitled to the ball.
The one that gets it, it's their ball.
That's correct.
Yeah.
She just went on and on.
I don't even remember what she said.
It was, you know, a lot of eyes on us by that time.
And the ball was already in his glove, and she just wouldn't stop.
And I mean, I'm literally leaning back as she's in my face, yelling and yelling and yelling.
And I pretty much just wanted her to go away.
And because I had a fork in the road, either, you know, do something I was probably going to regret or be dad.
And what was she going to do that she was going to regret?
Yes, that's been a great time to do something that you're going to regret.
That was like the best opportunity that you're going to regret because you are justified.
Yeah.
You're defending yourself.
Yeah.
So that's where I went.
Lincoln, how were you feeling when you had the ball in your hands and then suddenly you saw that you had to give it back up?
Um, I wasn't very happy that we had to give it to her, but we can't win.
He was great.
That's what your daddy was.
Sure.
Boy, his daddy did great.
He went over there.
Yeah, he got the ball.
He got the ball.
Good fellow.
He filled some balls when he went over there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But then it shriveled up when she got in his face.
Man, she wasn't going to take it, but we just decided to give her the ball.
I apologize to you, but it was the right thing.
We just wanted her to go away.
This kid looked at him like, man, you suck.
He's a good dad.
I guess he's trying to teach his kids some morals.
But those teaches kids how to stand up for yourself.
Exactly.
Yeah.
And it worked out.
You got a bat.
Yeah.
Pretty cool.
Dad, do you have any regrets giving the ball back?
Hell yeah.
Look.
Yeah, like I said, it's, you know, that was what we were there for.
We were there to get a home run ball.
So I thought I had accomplished this great thing.
And putting it in his glove meant a lot.
And she was just so adamant and loud and yelling and persistent.
And I just didn't want to deal with him anymore.
You know, there was hundreds of people, you know, just staring.
And like I said, she was very, very, very close.
And I'm, you know, I'm dad of the family.
So I didn't want to do something I'd regret.
And man, you ain't gonna do nothing.
That was the choice I made.
You ain't gonna do nothing.
You got the perfect kids.
Your kids are so cute.
And you just fold it.
You just fold it.
Man, if I was let your kids down, if that woman counts a gun face, it should have gotten my face.
That's what I would have did.
Yeah, you want the ball?
Come get it.
Come get it.
Right.
So just hand the ball back and tell her, go away.
Yeah, exactly how you did it.
So, following those moments, I think I saw that you said she was booed out of the stadium, right?
And then what happened?
Can you kind of talk to me about what happened after that?
The, I mean, everybody started yelling at her right away.
Even the people sitting in front of us while it was happening, people were telling her to, you know, go back to your seat, leave people alone, calling her Karen and people behind us.
And, you know, he's just standing there like, what's happening?
So were you.
You like your kid was just like, yeah.
He didn't overrelaw like you did.
Yeah.
And he said, like somebody tased you or something.
The booze started and they were very intense.
Once it got going, you could feel the depth of how many booze from the stadium.
I don't know if it was up on the TV or not.
I couldn't check.
I was kind of busy in the moment.
And she sat down with, I guess, her husband or whatever.
And the booze got so bad, he was kind of trying to keep off camera.
And eventually he got up and started walking away.
And she was hollering at him for something.
She even got up and was yelling and pointing and whatever.
And he just walked away.
He walked up into the you know, up into the sounds like a man just like you sound like y'all could be best friends the hallway area.
And she finally got up and stomped off.
So that was the last I seen of it.
I somebody did sent me a post of them up there walking around or whatever.
And she was hanging on to the ball.
So look at this kid about to fall asleep.
I think she's had a proud moment there.
She got her ball.
He's done her.
Oh, man.
Walking Away From Yelling00:01:52
Hold up.
She was hanging on to the ball.
Crazy story.
Man, I'm not a confrontational person either, but if that would have happened to me, I'd have gone off on that lady.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would have got mid-eve on the ass.
You wouldn't have got mid-eve on her.
Oh, yeah.
You would have screamed at her.
I'd have stuck my chest out of my face.
Yeah, for her audacity to come over there, knowing that the little kids got the ball now.
Yeah, that was my ball.
Everybody was entitled to it.
That is, you know, that woman's a Democrat.
Oh, she's a total ass.
Total Democrat.
Progressive woman.
I mean, that haircut gives it away.
For her to walk over to his family and demand that baseball is nuts.
