Royals Pitcher Yordano Ventura Died In A Car Accident Last Night
Brutal news here, as we’re just finding out that 25-year-old Yordano Ventura of the Kansas City Royals has died in a car accident. Any time a professional athlete passes away, especially at such a young age, you’ll hear a lot about what might’ve been, and the word “potential” gets thrown around a lot. Now’s not really the time to be talking about baseball when it comes to this news. A 25-year-old kid, who had his whole life ahead of him, and a promising one at that, is gone. Yes, he could hit triple digits on the radar gun, and the game of baseball has lost yet another young, exciting player, but the loss of a young life is always tragic, no matter what their profession is. RIP Yordano Ventura, and our condolences to the Royals baseball family.
