The Phillies fan who went viral for taking a home run ball away from a young boy after demanding it from his father might be able to cash it in for a pretty penny.
But she has to do more than just hand it over.

Trading card retailer Blowout Cards revealed it will pay the woman $5,000 if she sends the company the baseball with “I’m sorry” as well as her signature written on it.
Blowout Cards said its offer is firm.
The incident happened on Sept. 5 when the Phillies visited the Miami Marlins. Harrison Bader hit a home run to the outfield when the ball hit the seats. Fans scrambled for the ball, and a man identified as Drew Feltwell came up with it and gave it to his son.
Cameras captured Feltwell returning to his family when a woman approached him and demanded the ball. Feltwell handed it over.
The boy, who was there celebrating his 10th birthday, was given a bag with several items in it from LoanDepot Park. The Phillies also joined in. Bader met the 10-year-old and gave him the bat he used to hit the home run with his autograph on it.

It’s unclear if the woman will accept Blowout Cards’ offer.
