SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The bull is dead.
"Killed and ate him," Rangers left-hander Martin Perez said.
That was the bull that startled Perez while he was sitting on a fence at his Venezuelan ranch back in December. Perez fell off the fence and landed on his right elbow, fracturing the radial bone in the tip of the elbow and requiring surgery.
"When I went back from Arlington after the surgery, I told my brother we needed to kill the bull and eat him," Perez said. "We did, too. It was good meat."
Perez was smiling while telling that story on Sunday afternoon after allowing one run in five innings against the Angels.
