White Sox remove and ban 22-year-old fan from stadium
Arizona’s victory over the host Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night was marred after a fan’s insults about Ketel Marte’s late mother left the Diamondbacks second baseman in tears.
Marte was visibly upset after the incident, which took place when he came to bat at the top of the seventh inning. The 31-year-old’s mother, Elpidia Valdez, died in a car accident in 2017 in the Dominican Republic.
