Diamondbacks' second baseman Ketel Marte's mom died tragically. Elpidia Valdez passed away in a 2017 car accident in the Dominican Republic, according to My Stateline. Thus, it's not surprising that Marte is still emotional about the topic.

The fan, who levied a derogatory remark about Arizona Diamondbacks’ Ketel Marte’s late mother during Tuesday’s game, has been indefinitely banned from all Major League ballparks.

Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte broke down in tears on the field Tuesday night after a heckler allegedly made comments about his late mother. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said after the 4-1 road win over the White Sox that the fan made the purported remarks during Marte’s at-bat in the top of the seventh inning.
