Wilson Ramos was abducted in Venezuela four days ago when he returned home for the winter away from his Major League Baseball club the Washington Nationals. The Nationals catcher was rescued Friday night by the Venezuelan police force. He spent two days as a hostage. It has become a very serious issue within Venezuela over the past couple of years. Rich and professional baseball players are being kidnapped and taken hostage for ransom. The crime rate has been rising in Venezuela as well.
Ramos was being rescued and told the details of what he heard;"There were many shots fired. I could not do anything but get under the bed, to pray, to cry, and then I felt a great relief when I heard the police yell my name. That is when I responded, because I could not even speak"(Lacques). Ramos returned home with his family five hours after his rescue and will return to his Venezuela club for a winter ball season in his home country before returning back to the states before spring training.
