Mother of Former Pitcher for Tampa Bay Rays Kidnapped

Elizabeth Mendez Zambrano, mother of Victor Zambrano, was kidnapped from the family farm in Maracay, Venezuela. Victor Zambrano was pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays from 2001-2004. He is not the only sports figure to have a family member kidnapped. Rockies catcher, Yorvit Torrealba, endured the kidnapping of his son and father in Venezuela as well. Both Torrealba’s son and father were returned and Torrealba then moved his family to the United States. We are praying that the Zambrano family is soon reunited with Elizabeth.
