Arizona Diamondbacks fans gave star Ketel Marte a standing ovation on Friday after Marte had been brought to tears by a fan in Chicago, who had made cruel comments about his late mother.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte said a fan in Chicago who brought him to tears during a game against the White Sox this week shouted that he messaged his late mother the previous night.

Ketel Marte is one step away from separating himself in Arizona Diamondbacks history. On Wednesday, Marte was named the starting second baseman for the National League All-Star team. That marks the third All-Star appearance in his 11-year career, all since 2019.
