Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos has been kidnapped in his home country of
Venezuela.
Ramos, 24, was approached by four armed men near his home in Santa Ines
and
taken away in a car, according to El Nacional, a Venezuelan newspaper.
Ramos' Venezuelan winter league team, Tigres de Aragua, has also
confirmed
the kidnapping on Twitter.
"This is sad, worrisome and true that Wilson Ramos has been kidnapped,"
team
spokeswoman Kathe Vilera said via Twitter.
According to the Associated Press, judicial police in Venezuela said the
gunmen entered Ramos' home.
Several MLB players, including Nationals pitchers Colin Balester and
Drew
Storen, as well as Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino and Yankees
pitcher
Joba Chamberlain have also sent out messages of sympathy and support on
Twitter.
The Nationals have not issued any official word on the kidnapping, but
the
club was planning to release a statement later this evening.
Ramos was acquired by the Nationals from the Minnesota Twins at the 2010
trade deadline for pitcher Matt Capps. He hit .267 in his first full
season
with the Nationals in 2011 with 15 home runs and 52 RBI in 113 games. | b********n 发帖数: 4256 | 2 标题党。。呵呵。

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan police rescued Washington Nationals catcher
Wilson Ramos on Friday, two days after he was kidnapped, officials
announced.

Justice Minister Tareck El Aissami said on state television that Ramos was "
safe and sound" and that he was rescued by police. He said the circumstances
weren't immediately clear.
Information Minister Andres Izarra initially reported the rescue via Twitter
, saying Ramos was "found alive by security forces in mountainous zone."
Armed men seized Ramos at gunpoint Wednesday night outside his home in a
working-class neighborhood in the city of Valencia. Authorities said
Thursday that they had found a stolen SUV used by the kidnappers abandoned
in a nearby town.
The abduction was the first known kidnapping of a major league baseball
player in a country that has dozens of players on big league rosters in the
U.S., and it brought a renewed focus on worsening violent crime in Venezuela.
Security has increasingly become a concern for Venezuelan players and their
families as a wave of kidnappings has hit the wealthy as well as the middle
class. Relatives of several Venezuelan major leaguers have previously been
kidnapped for ransom, and in two cases have been killed.
Bodyguards typically shadow major leaguers when they return to their
homeland to play in Venezuela's winter baseball league, but it was unclear
what precautions, if any, Ramos was taking while at his family's home.
Major League Baseball officials said it was the first kidnapping of a major
leaguer that they could recall.
Polls consistently say rampant crime is the top worry of Venezuelans. The
country has one of the highest murder rates in Latin America, and the vast
majority of crimes go unsolved. The number of kidnappings has soared in
recent years.
Fans in both Venezuela and Washington had held candlelight vigils and prayed
for his safe release.
