Is Torres the White Sox good luck charm?

Jul-23-2009

WEC® bantamweight champion Miguel Angel Torres threw out the first pitch at today’s Chicago White Sox game. Torres, honored by the team for his MMA accomplishments, set the tone for White Sox star Mark Buehrle to throw a perfect game against Tampa Bay.

“I left a cup of lion’s blood and some cobra venom for him (Buehrle) at the mound to throw a no-hitter,” Torres said with a laugh. “That’s how I roll. It was an awesome experience."

Congrats to Torres and Buehrle on this amazing accomplishment.
