Both Torey Lovullo and Geraldo Perdomo very emotionally confirmed that tonight a fan yelled something to Ketel Marte about his mother, who passed away in a car accident in 2017. The moment left Marte visibly upset on the field. The fan was ejected.

Casey Drottar of the Chicago Tribune reported that a fan heckled Marte about his mother during the game. Marte's mother tragically passed away in a car accident back in 2017, and the comments by the fan clearly impacted Marte.
This is going to be a rant, but it needs to be said. If you are a loser who yells at players from the crowd, if the player discovers you are the heckler, then they should be allowed to challenge you to a fight on the field of play, and if you decline, you are forever banned from the stadium the challenge takes place in.
Seriously, this is gross actions from a weak fan. No player should ever have to deal with something like this while playing a game. Please find this person and ban them from going to games for life.
