Lovullo, who heard the spectator’s comments, but said he didn’t want to repeat them, felt Marte respond.
“I looked straight at him when I heard it,” Lovullo The Republic of Arizona told. “I looked straight at him and he also looked at the person. He put his head down and I could see that it certainly had an immediate impact on him.”
“I reacted just as a father would do when I went out to change pitchers,” Lovullo continued. “I could see that he sobbed. It hurt.”
