Danny Duffy buys Yordano Ventura bobblehead on eBay for Ventura’s mother

The bobblehead was snatched up quickly on eBay.

Days after Yordano Ventura died in a car crash in his native Dominican Republic, a bobblehead of the late Royals pitcher sold for $100 hours just after it went on sale.

The seller, who is from Kansas City, then got a big surprise. The address for the buyer was Kauffman Stadium, and it was intended for Royals left-hander Danny Duffy.

That story made the rounds on social media on Saturday, and here’s the kicker: Duffy wanted the bobblehead to send to Ventura’s mother in the Dominican.
