Yordano Ventura's Game 6 Cap is Going to Cooperstown

History.

Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura was absolutely dominant last night, allowing only three hits over seven innings of work. In addition to the pressure of being in a win-or-go-home situation, Ventura performed with the weight of his friend Oscar Taveras' passing on his shoulders. He honored the late Cardinals outfielder with "RIP O.T. #18" written on his cap. That cap is now on its way to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.
