A group of fans poked fun at 'Phillies Karen' on Tuesday night as they dressed up as the now-infamous woman at Dodger Stadium.
Earlier this month, a Phillies fan at the Marlins' LoanDepot Park went viral as she bullied a man into handing over a home run ball he'd snagged for his son and claimed it belonged to her.
The incident was later lampooned by the San Francisco Giants after a home run incident at their home ballpark ended in much friendlier fashion.
And as the Phillies took on the Dodgers in LA, three fans were seen wearing matching 'Phillies Karen' costumes in the stands.
Like the woman from the viral outburst, each of the men wore a white Phillies jersey with a red hoodie underneath, as well as grey wigs.
And even the official Phillies' Instagram account took note of the costumes as they posted a video of the fans.

The incident came after a 'Phillies Karen' demanded another fan hand a ball over to her earlier this month
'Now that’s a scary Halloween costume,' the team wrote on Instagram.
That quip comes a little more than a week after a Giants fan came away from a scrum of fans with a home run ball - before quickly spotting a young girl nearby and deciding to hand it to her.
She looked delighted as her dad lifted her up in the air and fans around them clapped.
'No Karens at our ballpark,' the Giants wrote on X.
In the initial incident, the woman could be seen yelling at fan Drew Feltwell after he'd given a home run ball to his son.
'That was ours,' she yelled at him.
After he gestured to his son, who he'd given the ball to, the man tried to explain that she didn't actually catch the souvenir.

Nonetheless, he ultimately decided to give the ball to the woman .
'Just trying to set an example of how to de-escalate a situation in front of my son, I guess,' he later told NBC 10 Philadelphia.
Ultimately, Feltwell's son, Lincoln, got to meet Harrison Bader (who hit the home run ball which caused the dispute) after the game and even received a signed bat from the Phillies star.
However, Feltwell admitted to having some regret at taking the ball away from his son.
'I felt like super dad putting that ball in his glove and giving him a hug,' he said.
On Tuesday, the Phillies defeated the Dodgers 9-6 at Dodger Stadium.
