Kansas City Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura, who pitched his team to victory in Games 2 and 5 of the World Series, apparently wasn't done playing ball just yet.

A night after the Royals lost Game 7 to the San Francisco Giants, Ventura hit a local softball field in K.C. for another game with slightly lower stakes. He wore his Royals cap and everything. The Twitter chatter — most of it running through @TheFakeNed — indicated that Ventura and his 100-mph fastball didn't take the mound Thursday night. Rather, he manned centerfield and took his turn at the plate.

The 23-year-old Royals ace of the future also posed for pictures with softball players and groups of kids.
