Marte was in a separate crash in the D.R. Just a coincidence

Driving in the Dominican Republic seems like a nightmare.

Wow. That's awful. At this point if I'm an MLB guy somewhere like the DR, I'm staying the hell out of a car.

Frick. That's sad.

quote:

Ventura was a standout as a rookie, as he pitched to a 3.20 ERA over 183 innings to help the Royals clinch their first playoff berth since 1985. His top performance that postseason came under awful circumstances in Kansas City’s in a Game 6 victory over the Giants in the World Series. After learning two days earlier that his friend, fellow Dominican and former Cardinals outfielder Oscar Tavares died (also in a car crash), Ventura fired seven shutout innings and surrendered just three hits to force a Game 7. The Royals went on to lose the series, but they returned to the Fall Classic in 2016 to defeat the Mets and end a 30-year championship drought.
