Ketel Marte, the Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman, was deeply affected by a fan's inappropriate comment about his late mother during a game against the White Sox. Marte recounted the incident in an interview, revealing that the fan had claimed to have messaged his mother the night before. The MLB responded by banning the fan indefinitely. Marte emphasized the pain of such taunts, especially given his mother's tragic passing in a car accident while he was in Chicago. He urged for greater accountability for fans who cross the line.
A fan was up on the dugout shouting things about my mother. He was like, 'Last night I sent a message to your mother.'
We have to do something about the fans; they're going too far. They always shout things about me, but not about my mother.
