I sort of pay attention to the Royals (used to live on the Kansas side of the border) and I knew about Ventura's death, but honestly, the OP was a bit too vague for me. I almost never know what a player's uniform number is, and since I don't follow the Royals closely, I'm also not very familiar with most team members' nicknames. What I'm confessing to here is my ignorance.

And yes, I had read that Ventura appeared to have a brilliant career ahead of him.
