This past Tuesday at Rate Field in Chicago, Arizona Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte was brought to tears on the field after a heckler in the stands said something about his late mother. Marte's mother, Elpidia Valdez, was killed in a car crash in the Dominican Republic in 2017. The fan has since been banned from all MLB ballparks.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte said a fan in Chicago who brought him to tears during a game against the White Sox this week shouted that he messaged his late mother the previous night.
