Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte, who hit a solo home run in the first inning of a 4-1 win over the Chicago White Sox at Rate Field, was subject of some pretty brutal heckling last night when a spectator apparently yelled something at him about his late mother, who perished in a car accident in 2017...

"[Marte] put his head down, and I could tell it had an immediate impact on him, for sure," Lovullo said.

"I could see he was sobbing. It hurt. [I told him], 'I love you and I'm with you and we're all together and you're not alone. No matter what happens, no matter what was said or what you heard, that guy is an idiot. It shouldn't have an impact on you.'"

I'm just not sure what the frick is wrong with some people. Heckling is fun. Making fun of some guy's mother dying? You're just not wired right.

That “fan” is a POS.

It’s shitty, but the fan got off too easily.

The fan is banned from White Sox games (that’s MLB doing the fan a favour).

Kettle is immortalized as being the guy who cried in baseball.

" ... that guy's an idiot" is way too kind ... the heckler is a complete shitbag.

Fans have learned that heckling works and really bad heckling really works. Looks like they need some desensitivity training.

The heckler needed a decent fan to beat his butt.

A lot of people deserve and need to have their teeth knocked out. Take this fan for instance.
