Baseball Manager Calls for Fan Ejection After Ketel Marte Heckling Incident
CHICAGO, IL – A heated exchange unfolded at Guaranteed Rate Field on June 24, 2025, during a game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Chicago White Sox, leading to the ejection of a fan. The incident centered around persistent heckling directed at Diamondbacks player Ketel Marte, which reportedly caused him visible distress. Footage captured by a spectator shows Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo animatedly pointing towards the stands, signaling for security to remove the individual. The fan's behavior had reportedly escalated over time, prompting Lovullo to intervene directly from the dugout. "We were sitting about seven rows behind home plate, heard bits and pieces of the heckling, which had gotten progressively worse over time," stated the video's uploader, Smartasskris. "We saw Ketel Marte become visibly upset, teammates standing up for him, and saw Torey Lovullo call for the fan’s ejection." White Sox security personnel quickly responded to the manager's request, ensuring the fan's removal. The uploader commended the security team, stating, "Great job by White Sox security for understanding the gravity of the situation." The event has sparked conversations among fans about appropriate conduct at sporting events and the importance of protecting players from excessive harassment. The uploader reflected on the incident as "a good lesson in sportsmanship for others, and appreciation and maturity of these young players who grieve and have feelings like anyone else."
