The 2007 season kicks off with the 13th Annual Danbury Westerners' Celebrity Breakfast. This year's guest speaker was 18-year veteran pitcher Mike Torrez who entertained the crowd with stories of his career and some sage advice for the pitchers in attendance. Run as much as you can to keep fit. Keeping your legs strong will keep your arm strong. 6/6/07 | Photos Page 3 | ||||||||||
