OMAHA, Neb. — Cowboys pitcher Tyler Buffett had never met Warren Buffett, a cousin of his grandfather George Buffett.
Yet with the business magnate residing in Omaha, Tyler figured if OSU could somehow make it to the College World Series, the opportunity may just present itself.
Opportunity seized.
Tyler and his immediate family and friends in from Albuquerque, N.M., hosted Warren and his wife, Astrid, for dinner at a home the player's parents are renting during their stay in Omaha. Tuesday morning, after Tyler pitched the Cowboys past Arizona for a 1-0 win, the billionaire investor welcomed him at his Berkshire Hathaway headquarters.
