PrintA few hours after Washington Nationals fans gathered in front of the Center Field Gate at Nationals Park, just as reports were coming out of the vigil held to hope for the safe return of kidnapped 24-year-old catcher Wilson Ramos, the following messages have just come out via Twitter. First Marfa Mata @MarfaMata, a friend of the Ramos family who has been acting as a representative for the family since the intial reports that Wilson Ramos had been kidnapped, wrote on Twitter that, "Wilson apareció!!" "Wilson appeared!" While everyone was waiting to hear exactly what that meant, Rafael Rojas (@RafaelRojasC), baseball writer for Viva Colorado, wrote on Twitter, "Internal Affairs Minister called Ramos family and told them they got him - Per Marfa Mata."
@RafaelRojasC: "VZ Information Minister tweets Ramos has been found safely by authorities at mountains at Carabobo state."
We'll have more as soon as the story develops.

So very glad!
Nice to think the next time we meet at Nats Park, it will just be for a baseball game!
Outstanding!
Hope it is true.

Now they need to make sure that there isn't any retribution to the family.

NBCSports is reporting this now, saying he is in Caracas, found in the mountains, and he’s receiving medical attention. Hurray!
"Don't mind WM...he's an all-around jerk."
I'm just going to ignore the "receiving medical attention" and be very happy...

You have to assume he’s going to be at least triaged to see what’s up. The fact that he’s safe and alive are far more important than baseball tonight.

If you have MLB Network Radio...
Rafael Rojas is confirming what’s been said so far. They found him out the outskirts of the state he lives in and was born 50-52 hours after abduction.
They say he is alive (c’mon) and they are about to bring him to his home.

CARACAS- This Friday night the Venezuelan baseball player Wilson Ramos was found alive, according to the Minister of Communication and Information, Andrés Izarra.

I like Ramos as a player, and obviously as a person I'm glad he's okay.
Can’t imagine the relief you guys feel. Congrats, and here’s hoping he gets a clean bill of health.

Amanda Comak The internal minister has announced they have detained three people (presumed kidnappers). So it's fair to assume it was a rescue situation.

and we should probably take this opportunity to remember all other kidnapping victims and their families. not everyone is so lucky
Good thought
Also, hope that steps are taken to prevent future kidnapping.
Best news of the year!

Thank the Gods...
I’m not one for praying aloud but I sent up many silent prayers during the ordeal.
I can only imagine the ovation he’ll get at his first AB in the home opener!
I'm so glad he's been found !!!
This is a hugh relief.
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"--The Brain
Yeah!!!
First thing I did when I got up was turn on the computer and check if there were any news. What a relief! I’m so happy for him and his family.
