Heckling fan brings Ketel Marte to tears on the field. Fan makes references to the death of his mother in a car accident.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
I'm tired of fans thinking players are just computer pixels on a screen. We never going to get rid of j@ck@$$3$. But we are never going to put dent into the problem if all we do is kick them off of the field. Imagine if Marte's emotions didn't lead him to sadness, but to rage. Then it looks like Marte is the problem. Especially when we see how immigrants are being portrayed these days? Marte would have been fined & suspended, the j@ck@ss fan would have gotten a pay out in a lawsuit. And everyone would be talking about these particular athletes are out of control. Who knows, his tears may have come from trying to control his rage.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
1st, this fan should be banished, not from CWS games, but from MLB fields league wide.
Next, this fan should not remain anonymous. Just as Marte's reputation could have been tarnished forever if he acted the wrong way, this fan's rep needs to be tarnished because he
DID act in the wrong way. Sure, we don't want this man to get overrun with callers aiming to give back what he gave. But you know what that is called?
CONSEQUENCES. I don't condone going tit for tat, but then again, you reap what you sow.
