You think this only happens in the movies and TV, but in other countries this happens a lot unfortunately.
It is one thing athletes need to be aware of when they are playing overseas and protect themselves accordingly. Here are the details.
Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos was kidnapped at his home in Maracay, Venezuela, according to Denver Post’s bilingual website, VivaColorado.com.
