Last season Yordano Ventura a very good pitcher for the Kansas City Royals from the Dominican Republic used his bad attitude and was verbally harassing other major league players. As well he intentionally hit players with baseballs during games including the Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado which started an on field fight.
However this past Sunday 25 year old Ventura was under the influence and wrecked his car which killed him.
Now he was not known for having a great attitude, but that was not a reason to want him to die. No one felt that way including Manny Machado.
Coincidentally another former teammate of his Andy Matre was visiting in his home country of the Dominican Republic where he died in a car wreck also. He was 33 years old.
Both men were young, from the Dominican Republic, friends and talented baseball players.
How sad!

Very sad news. It's always sad news when some one die violently and young. Will he be missed in the sport?
