During a game against the Chicago White Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks player Ketel Marte was visibly emotional on the field, triggered by a fan's rude remark regarding his late mother who passed away in 2017. Manager Torey Lovullo expressed his support for Marte, emphasizing the humanity behind the players and the impact such comments can have. After the game, Marte received consolation from his teammates and colleagues as they focused on the importance of emotional well-being. Despite the incident, Marte helped lead the D-Backs to a 4-1 victory, continuing his impressive performance this season.
It was a terrible moment. Fans are nasty and fans go too far sometimes. I love my players and I'm going to protect him.
At the end of the day, we're human beings and we have emotions. I saw him hurting and I wanted to protect him.
