This is a picture of Wilson Ramos, the Washington Nationals star kidnapped in Venezuela and found last night safe after a hectic several hours. He is hugging his mother. I needed to bring this photograph to you all at BYB because I saw how many people were constantly reading our updates on this poor guy.

The Washington Times had this important information of how they finally were able to get Wilson Ramos to safety. Read the full story HERE, but here is the excerpt:

"Wilson Ramos was lying in a bed in a house in Montalban, Carabobo, Friday night, trying to think, trying to sleep — trying not to wonder how much longer he might live or how his family was doing in the wake of his kidnapping.

That was when he heard the first gunshot.

Ramos jumped to the floor, he told The Washington Times on Saturday morning, roughly 10 hours after the Venezuelan police rescued him from the armed kidnappers who’d abducted him Wednesday evening from his home in Santa Ines.

He stayed on the floor, listening to the gunfire and praying, until the police came in and told him his 50-plus hour nightmare was finally over.

“They picked me up off the floor and they said, ‘Hey, Wilson, thank God, you’re safe. Let’s go home. Your family is waiting for you.’”

Damn, it's a made for TV movie. Look, we here at Bleeding Yankee Blue are a Yankee blog, but this kidnapping of Wilson Ramos was important and we needed to tell you about it. We are relieved it's over and we were happy to bring you the details as they happened. Luckily, this one had a very happy ended.
