The sports world is mourning the death yesterday of the wife of former Pirate outfielder Starling Marte. Noelia Brazoban suffered a fatal heart attack while in the hospital awaiting surgery for a broken ankle.
Marte, who was traded this offseason to Arizona, wrote on his Instagram, “It is a moment of indescribable pain,” while sharing a picture of him and his wife at the Grand Canyon.
Starling Marte has three children, including a 4-year-old daughter with Noelia.
The Pirates tweeted: “The entire Pirates family extend our deepest condolences to Starling Marte and family during this terrible time. Our hearts are truly saddened by this news.”
