DENVER (AP) -Colorado Rockies catcher Yorvit Torrealba brought his 11-year-old son to the ballpark Tuesday night, nearly two weeks after the boy was kidnapped in Venezuela while on his way to school.
Yorvit Eduardo followed his father all over the diamond before the game, stopping to greet Rockies players eager to shake his hand. He also threw the ball around and then sat in the dugout as his dad trotted into the outfield during batting practice.
It’s been a harrowing ordeal for the family since Torrealba’s son and brother-in-law were snatched by kidnappers earlier this month.
They were abducted while driving to the boy’s school and the kidnappers demanded nearly $500,000 in ransom, but none was paid.
