Sunday morning, the baseball world was dealt a pair of tragedies as Royals right-hander Yordano Ventura and former big league infielder Andy Marte were killed in separate car crashes in the Dominican Republic. Ventura was only 25. Marte was 33.

Soon after the news broke, Royals fans flocked to Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City to mourn Ventura. Among those in attendance: left-hander Danny Duffy, who gave out hugs.
