Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte in tears after reportedly being heckled by fan about his late mother
Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte was visibly upset during his team's victory against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday after a fan reportedly heckled him about his late mother. The incident took place during Marte's seventh-inning at-bat, after which he was consoled by manager Torey Lovullo and shortstop Geraldo Perdomo. According to the spectator made a derogatory remark about Marte's mother, who passed away in a car accident in 2017. 'It was a terrible moment,' Lovullo told reporters after the game. 'Fans are nasty, and fans go too far sometimes. I love my players and I'm going to protect them. I've known Ketel for nine years and he's had some unbelievably great moments. Some hardships as well, and some really, really tough moments in his life, and I know those. 'At the end of the day, we're human beings and we have emotions. I saw him hurting, and I wanted to protect him.' The Arizona Republic, citing a Diamondbacks team spokesman, reported that the fan in question was ejected, while Marte declined to speak on the situation. CNN has contacted the Diamondbacks, White Sox and MLB for comment. Marte hit a first-inning solo home run in Arizona's 4-1 win at Rate Field, the team's second victory against the White Sox in as many days. While comforting the second baseman, Lovullo said he told Marte: 'I love you and I'm with you and we're all together, you're not alone. No matter what happens, no matter what was said or what you heard, that guy's an idiot and shouldn't have an impact on you.' Perdomo, meanwhile, said after the game that he felt 'mad' about the incident and called for the fan to be banned from attending future fixtures, according to ESPN.

Shots fired blocks from Rate Field as White Sox game gets out
A shooting transpired in Bronzeville Tuesday evening, just as White Sox fans left a game at Rate Field just blocks away. The shooting happened near 35th and State streets.

White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf to be deposed over mysterious 2023 shooting that injured two fans
An Illinois judge has ordered long-time Chicago White Sox owner and chairman Jerry Reinsdorf to be deposed as part of a lawsuit over a 2023 shooting at the team's home stadium, Rate Field. The White Sox and the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority were sued in August of 2024 by two women alleging they were injured by gunfire while seated in the bleachers at Rate Field. The lawsuit claims the gun was fired inside the ballpark and accuses the team of negligent security practices. The plaintiffs have not been identified publicly. Reinsdorf is expected to be questioned about his comments in the days after the shooting as well as his decision against calling off the remainder of the game, according to the Chicago Tribune. The team did cancel a post-game Vanilla Ice performance scheduled for later that night as a result of the shooting. Daily Mail has reached out to White Sox spokespeople for comment. The facts of the case remain murky and it's still not entirely clear if the gun was actually fired inside Rate Field or the area surrounding the stadium. Two unidentified women were reportedly injured after a gun went off during the team's 12-4 loss to the Athletics on August 25, 2023. At the time, ESPN Chicago's Peggy Kusinski reported the shooting was accidental, adding that one woman was 'grazed' after allegedly sneaking the firearm into Rate Field 'in the folds of her belly fat.' However, an attorney has since told the Tribune that his client did not bring the gun into Rate Field. 'We have reviewed photographic evidence and X-rays of our client's injuries with firearms and medical experts who confirm the gunshot wound our client sustained was not self-inflicted and was not the result of her accidentally discharging a firearm,' attorney John Malm told the Tribune in 2023. Reinsdorf agreed with that assessment soon after. 'They're still investigating,' Reinsdorf said in 2023. 'I don't want to get into specific facts while they're investigating but have really done a deep dive into this and I don't see any way in the world that the shots could have come from inside the ballpark. 'Let's let the police continue with their investigation. At this point all the superintendent is prepared to say is they have not ruled out that they came from outside the ballpark.' Reinsdorf also spoke with Chicago PD's Fred Waller, who echoed those comments in a statement of his own. 'We're dispelling a lot of things,' he began. '[A shot] coming from outside is something we've almost completely dispelled. We're still looking at every avenue. It's still under investigation. Something from inside, it could've happened that way. We're looking at every avenue, exploring every lead and everything that we can get.' Rate Field is owned by the state of Illinois, but security is handled by private contractors. Reinsdorf, 89, is in the process of selling the club to Justin Ishbia, the brother of Poenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia. The team announced the deal earlier this month. Ishbia will make capital infusions to the team as a limited partner in 2025 and 2026 in order to pay down existing club debt and support ongoing team operations. Under the agreement, Reinsdorf has the option to sell controlling interest to Ishbia from 2029 to 2033, after which Ishbia can obtain a majority stake.
