The City Mourns

Goodbye #30 Yordano Ventura

A sad day: http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/18531119/kansas-city-royals-right-hander-yordano-ventura-25-killed-car-accident

Just 14 months ago, the people of Kansas City came together with love, pride, & good will to celebrate the Kansas City Royal's epic win of the World Series. Yordano epitomized what it meant to be "Forever Royal". For the everyday man & woman, it also was an honor to be photographed with even a stand up poster of their beloved #30: http://www.pbase.com/britestar/image/161878948

Even me: http://www.pbase.com/britestar/image/161879174

Today's tragic loss will be long felt in our city, in the sports world, and even in all of Latin America: http://www.si.com/mlb/2017/01/22/yordano-ventura-royals-death-car-accident

How very sad to read about, and your image is a fitting tribute to him.

That is so sad. Always tragic when a life is lost like this, and even more so when they are young and in the prime of life.
