Yordano Ventura pitched the best game of his career while paying tribute to Oscar Taveras, who died in a car accident. Now this. Brutal.

I'd like to hope alcohol and/or drugs didn't play a part.....

Same day, separate sole death accidents of #MLB players @YordanoVentura & Andy Marte, similar circumstance; both said to be under influence.

Andy Marte's last MLB game was 8/6/14 w/ Arizona, against KC. Royals starting pitcher that day? Yordano Ventura. Both gone too soon. RIP.

Wow that's disappointing. I really enjoyed watching him pitch in the Royals WS years. Life is fragile.

Let's not forget Oscar Taveras died the same way. The restrictions on alcohol and speed limits are different than us. The roads are in kilometers but it is 74 mph! Drinking? You bribe cops with alcohol and the legal age is 18.

I never feel less sad about young lives being lost to alcohol or drugs and driving. I know that many of my friends and I are only still alive by the grace of God because we were young and incredibly stupid in our twenties

Roads are probably crumbling and crappy, too, considering how many DR auto accident death news items you read what seems like frequently in the newspaper.

I'd have to agree with both statements.

And I have no idea how I survived my twenties....
