In response to a fan’s derogatory comment in last night’s game targeting Ketel Marte’s mother — who tragically passed away in a 2017 car accident— the White Sox conveyed a message to him before today’s contest.
In a powerful stand against the ugliness of fan harassment, MLB swiftly acted to indefinitely ban the fan whose despicable comments targeted Marte. It was a heartening display of accountability, reinforcing that there is no place for such vitriol in the stands. As Marte stepped to the plate, the South Siders stood to applaud him, and it was a sweet moment of solidarity that transcended team loyalties.
