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.

Thus, they think the world is supposed to submit to their version of right and wrong. It isn't a matter or morality. It is a matter of opinion, preference, choice.
If X doesn't like Y using their own fire extinguisher for a prop, you know what kind of problem that is? An X problem. Not a Y problem, not an I problem, not a U problem. The rest of the world shouldn't have to sacrifice themselves and their own sense of what they deem decent to please the immature feelings of some clown who has an overblown perception of their own code of conduct. X can pout about it all they want. Grow up. Or be miserable at the rest of the planet not acquiescing to their selfish wishes.
They have no right to impose their sense of right & wrong onto the freedom of others.

He's starting to come around to the idea that we should respect one another. We should be so proud of his growth.
But no, I agree, that was far far beyond what is acceptable fan behaviour. I too hope they ban him for life.
