Royals pitcher Edinson Volquez said Wednesday that he didn’t know whether he would be ready to play in the World Series once he returns to the U.S. following his father’s funeral in the Dominican Republic.
In Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Volquez said he was in a lot of pain as his eyes welled with tears while he attended his father’s memorial service a day before the funeral.
“Losing a loved one is hard,” he said. “My father was everything to me, and he supported me in everything throughout my career. We won the game, but I would have changed that if it meant he could still be alive.
