The father who chased down a home run ball for his son at a Phillies game, only to have another fan demand it from him, is speaking out.

Drew Feltwell was at a Phillies-Marlins game in Miami with his children on Friday when Phillies center fielder Harrison Bader hit a home run. The ball went flying into the crowd in left field, landing in the bleachers where Feltwell was sitting.

Video circulating online appears to show the ball landing in front of a woman in a Phillies jersey and a man in a black shirt seated to Feltwell’s right. As they search for it on the ground, Feltwell walks over, picks up the ball and hands it to his son, Lincoln, placing it in his mitt.

“I was already ecstatic, like got Bader’s home run ball, and I get to put it in my son’s glove and that was, it was already enough,” Feltwell told NBC News in an interview Saturday, flanked by his children. “You know, and then, then here she comes.”

Video shows the woman in the Phillies jersey walk over to Feltwell, who is embracing his son, and demand the ball.
