Man who taunted Ketel Marte about late mom banned by MLB, White Sox

An individual at a baseball recreation who ridiculed the lifeless mom of the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Ketel Marte has been banned by the Chicago White Sox and Main League Baseball indefinitely, the league confirmed Wednesday.

Marte was in tears on the sphere after the particular person attending the White Sox house recreation in Chicago on Tuesday made the comment, and Diamondbacks supervisor Torey Lovullo comforted him.

Marte’s mom died in a 2017 automobile accident.

The fan, whom MLB didn’t determine, made a derogatory comment about Marte’s late mom, MLB.com reported.

The White Sox ejected the 22-year-old man who made the remark. A staff spokesperson stated the person was “very apologetic and remorseful” and admitted it was inappropriate, MLB.com reported.

The White Sox confirmed their help for Marte throughout Wednesday’s second recreation of a three-game sequence, displaying on boards “Baseball is household” and “the White Sox neighborhood helps Ketel Marte.”
