Erizona Diamondback’s second baseless Katel Marte said a fan in Chicago who brought him to tears during a game against White Socks, shouted that he had messed up his late mother last night.
The two-time all-star revealed what was said during an interview with Spanish-language journalist Yanan Pujols.
“A fan was on a dugout talking about my mother,” he said. ‘He was so,’ last night I sent a message to your mother. ,
The 22-year-old viewer on Tuesday night saw Mart in tears on the field after shouting an derogatory remark about Marte’s late mother during a 4–1 win over Chicago on Tuesday night. The Major League baseball banned the fan from all stadiums the next day indefinitely.
Marte’s mother, Alpedia Waldez died in a car accident in the Republic of Dominican in 2017. He said that he had been taunted, but was never seen about his mother. He said that what was more painful for him was that Diamondbacks were to play cubs in Chicago when he died.
“We have to do something about fans; they are going far away,” he said. ‘They always shout about me, but not about my mother. Everyone knows that my mother died in an accident. Nothing else.
“We are praying for him, for the man who used to shout, and for his family, you can protect him? God can protect him and clean his heart. They always shout things on me but I don’t pay attention, but when they talk about my mother, it’s a different story.”
According to a spokesperson by White Sox, security staff at Ballpark relate that the 22 -year -old fan “was very forgiveness and repenting after the fact, and accepted to be very inappropriate and stupid with his comments.” Another person confirmed AP that Major League baseball had banned fans from all major league stadiums. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity as the punishment was not announced by the league.
Arizona manager Tori Lovullo and bench coach Jeff Banister asked the fan to remove the game. Prior to the conclusion of Wednesday’s series, Lovulo stated that he was “a little part of a conversation with the fan” as he shouted in the marte.
“He was not receiving it and was very foggy, and it did not sit right with me,” Lovulo said. “It was just a gross comment that you would not say about anyone, let anyone go alone who lost his mother.
“We need better baseball fans. Baseball deserves better.”
