A person at a baseball game who ridiculed the dead mother of the Arizona Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte has been banned by the Chicago White Sox and Major League Baseball indefinitely, the league confirmed Wednesday.
Marte was in tears on the field after the person attending the White Sox home game in Chicago on Tuesday made the remark, and Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo comforted him.
Marte's mother died in a 2017 car accident.
The fan, whom MLB did not identify, made a derogatory remark about Marte's late mother, MLB.com reported.
The White Sox ejected the 22-year-old man who made the comment. A team spokesperson said the man was “very apologetic and remorseful” and admitted it was inappropriate, MLB.com reported.
