Royals starter Yordano Ventura is currently appealing a nine-game suspension for throwing a 99 MPH fastball at Manny Machado and his involvement in the ensuing altercation. The bad boy image was not on display Tuesday when Ventura visited a lemonade stand run by two brothers in Overland Park, Kansas, as Abby Eden of FOX 4 KC reports.
“My brother had no idea who he was, and then I looked at him, I stared at him, and I said, ‘Yordano Ventura?’ And he was like yeah, and he gave me a fist bump,” Rahmeen Hirsch recounted.
The brothers were selling lemonade, sweet tea, and baseball cards. They say Ventura paid way above asking price, per Eden.
Yesterday, Craig urged us not to think of everything in binary terms. This is another good example. We can, at the same time, condemn Ventura for his antics on the field and praise him for the way he treats fans off the field.
