Ketel Marte of the Arizona Diamondbacks revealed the emotional distress he experienced due to a fan's cruel comments about his late mother during a game. The fan was banned indefinitely from all MLB stadiums after shouting inappropriate remarks, including a message to his mother who passed away in a car accident. Marte, who felt unsupported for being taunted previously, found this specific heckling especially painful. He noted the importance of fans respecting players' personal tragedies, and he expressed gratitude for the support from his manager and fans during this difficult time.
We have to do something about the fans; they're going too far... but when they talk about my mother, it's a different story.
My manager had my back... I don't think he'll be allowed back in the parks.
I felt good, always receiving that type of support from the fans here, it just really made me feel super good.
