Royals announce tribute to Yordano Ventura at FanFest

The Royals are giving grieving fans a chance to remember the late Yordano Ventura at FanFest, which beings Friday.

Royals FanFest was bound to be a somber affair compared to years past, because it is being held just days after the stunning death of Ventura.

The annual event is this Friday and Saturday at the Kansas City Convention Center, and the team announced Wednesday a few more details about the tribute to Ventura, who died Sunday in a car accident in the Dominican Republic.

The Royals said a memorial to Ventura will be located in an area just as fans enter Bartle Hall at the Convention Center.
