The father of Royals pitcher Edinson Volquez died Tuesday in the Dominican Republic, shortly before his son took the mound to start Game 1 of the World Series against the New York Mets. Two people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that 63-year-old Danio Volquez died from heart failure. The elder Volquez, a mechanic in the Dominican Republic, introduced his son to the game when he was about 10 years old.
