The grave of late Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura rests a few hundred feet from the seashore.
Everyone in this town on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic seems to know its location. Wander through the iron gates onto the sandy terrain and gently sidestep hundreds of above-ground tombs and free-standing crucifixes until you come to the northwest corner of the cemetery.
Ventura is buried in a concrete vault, tombs stacked three-by-two, roughly 5 feet high. His is painted royal blue, its vivid design standing apart in this crowded beachfront graveyard, where catacombs are weather-beaten and simply marked.
