That's still hammered

A tragedy is tough enough to deal with. An avoidable tragedy is even worse.

Since '84 15 MLB players and prospects have died in car crashes in the D.R.

Yordano Ventura is dedicating his start tonight to Taveras, as they were buddies and fellow countrymen. As if I needed another reason to be pulling hard for the Royals and this kid.

 

On a side note, if you haven't watched this kid pitch yet, do yourself a favor and tune in. Absolutely electric stuff. This is Chapman starting and with a nasty tight curve and good change.

 

While going back and reading this thread I saw this post. It is even sadder given what happened later.
