He kept the All-Star Game infield, but he couldn't keep his house.

The Associated Press and other U.S. media reported that Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte (31) suffered a "poor house" during the All-Star Game.

A Scottsdale, Arizona, police officer said, `The theft is believed to have occurred on the 16th when the MLB All-Star Game was held"There was no one in Marte's house, and many personal items such as jewelry disappeared." he said.




Marte has been going through a lot of bad luck this season. He was insulted by the opposing team's crowd during an away game at the Chicago White Sox on the 25th of last month. Marte also shed tears.

At the time, the crowd reportedly mocked Marte's mother, who died in a car accident in 2017. The spectator who made inappropriate remarks towards Marte was found to be in his early 20s.

According to the White Sox, the spectator `is very sorry, very regretful.' However, the White Sox kept the spectators out indefinitely. In addition, all major league stadiums will not be allowed indefinitely.




Marte was also hurt, but he finished the first half with a batting average of 299 home runs and 40 RBIs.

On the other hand, sports players who left for the All-Star Game are often targeted by the `empty robbers.' In 2017, guard Nick Young, who played for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA), was robbed of $530,000 worth of jewelry and cash while participating in the All-Star Game.

Yasiel Puig, who played in the KBO League, was also robbed of $170,000 (about 240 million won) in 2017.




The Associated Press said that `famous sports stars are more likely to be targeted by thieves because their schedules for being away are made public.' The FBI cautioned the U.S. professional sports league.
