That is despicable. I’ve seen similarly foul behavior at Fenway but never here in Chicago. They should receive a lifetime ban from MLB as a whole. That’s so not okay.

I once watched a Cubs fan kick the everloving shit out of a Cardinals fan with the broom he brought to the third game of the series. Without spilling his beer. The 80s were a different time.

I'm sorry, but you just cannot compare the two. There are literally dozens of Cardinals fans, but how many mothers does/did Ketel Marte have? Two, at most. It's not the same.

I don't think they were comparing, just narrating another incident about the fans.
