Atlanta — In the bright lights of MLB, star Marcell Ozuna always shines with his powerful hitting and tenacious fighting spirit. But today, the ballpark suddenly fell silent as he could not hold back his tears, sharing an unforgettable loss: the woman who raised him, the person Ozuna called his “first fan from the very beginning,” has passed away.

The name Marcell Ozuna is probably not unfamiliar to Atlanta Braves fans — he was a powerful hitter, but after that swing, the emotional moment when he said:

“I am who I am today because of her. She believed in me when no one else did. Every home run, every time I step on the field, it’s because of her…” like a sudden blow to the hearts of fans, even the reporters at the studio couldn’t help but choke up.

Immediately after, fans flocked online to share and encourage Ozuna with touching stories about their loved ones:

“He had the courage to open his heart and show the world that true love is out there.”

“More than just a player, Marcell is a man with a family heart.”

Ozuna is making his mark on the field, but the story of his grandmother — who laid the foundation for his dream since he was a boy — is a lesson in love, faith, and deep gratitude. His steps on the field are now supported not only by technique, but by the most sacred memories and emotions.

The moment Ozuna paused for a second, tried to hold back his tears, and then continued sharing that line of sharing is a testament to the bravery and soul of a player. And this time, the hit is not in the achievement, but in the hearts of the fans — who unconditionally support him, and also share his sadness.
