    Royals Yordano Ventura has died

    @JeffPassan
    A number of reports out of the D.R. say Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura has died in a car accident. I have not independently confirmed.

    I have to admit that if I was a Royals fan, my first thought would have been, "Fuck, we lost one of our most talented starting pitchers" when it should be "Oh, no, so sad that this 25-year old young man lost his life."

    I'm just too much of a fan.

    I think that's just the way it is with the world of sports and the athletes. It's how you're affected, like there goes a star player followed by the "a poor young man's life has been cut short", just to make it seem like you're not kind of a dick and selfish in your views of someone's death. Especially one that you haven't met.

    The yahoo article makes a link to a twitter account that posted pictures of the accident, with the second pic showing what seems to be his body in the accident.
