It has been a rough season for the Kansas City Royals. While the regular season record, and the American League Championship would certainly claim otherwise, the Royals have had their share of misfortune in 2015. Both Mike Moustakas and Chris Young had to deal with the loss of a parent this season, and before last night’s game, Edinson Volquez learned that his father had passed in the Dominican Republic.
According to reports, Volquez learned of his father’s passing while on his way to Kauffman Stadium. With that on his mind, and with a heavy heart, Volquez still went out and pitched Game One of the World Series.
