Wilson Ramos kidnapped in Venezuela

Advertisements [?]

WASHINGTON - Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos has been kidnapped in his home country of Venezuela, police and colleagues say.

Reports say that Ramos was kidnapped at gunpoint from his home around 6:45 p.m. Venezuelan time (6:15 p.m. EST) in Maracay. The Nationals' catcher has been playing for the Aragua Tigers, a team in the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League.

The Tigers confirmed the kidnapping via the team's Twitter feed Wednesday.

"This is sad, worrisome and true that Wilson Ramos has been kidnapped," writes Katherine Vilera, a spokeswoman for the team.
