Edinson Volquez, pitcher of the Royals, found out that his father died after winning victoriously against the New York Mets in Game 1 of the World Series. He was truly devastated and was in tears when he heard the heartbreaking news.

He is from the Dominican Republic and is unsure whether he will still want to play after attending his father's funeral. "Losing a loved one is hard," he said. "My father was everything to me, and he supported me in everything throughout my career. We won the game, but I would have changed that if it meant he could still be alive." he said.

His father, Daniel Volquez, then 63, died due to heart failure and were told after stepping off the mound after six innings and three runs. "My wife was waiting for me with the general manager and they told me what had happened after I finished working," he said. "I want to thank my teammates for all their support, to (Johnny) Cueto and Yordano (Ventura), who were the first ones to call me."

He is said to return to the U.S. on Friday or Saturday then adds, "But I don't know if I'll be ready for that appearance," he said.

Mike Moustakas, third baseman of the Royals, knows what Eddie is going through right now because his mother, Connie, died too, a while back due to cancer.

"When someone loses a family member that takes priority over everything that happens. Baseball is baseball, but family, things that happen like that -- that's something that is more important than baseball." Moustakas said.

He is expected to return during Game 5 - all hopes are truly high that he will.
