Biography

Parents: George & Kristine Torres
Birthday: June 26, 2002


What is your favorite stadium or concert venue that you have been to and why?
Angel's Stadium. I grew up an Angels fan, watching games with my grandma in her room downstairs in our home or going in person and always sitting out in section 237 hoping to catch a home run ball. Going with my little league team, friends, family, for birthdays, you name it. That is a place I can always call home. I never get tired of going there and I don't think I ever will!

Is there a backstory behind your name and if so, what is it?
Why yes there is. The important thing to note, my family is a BIG baseball family. I am named after the Ryan Express, the Strikeout King, a man who threw SEVEN career no-hitters (four of which as an Angel I might add), the man, the myth, the legend, Nolan Ryan.

You have one round trip ride in a time machine. Where in time are you going and why?
August 28, 1963 - The March on Washington I'd want to watch MLK Jr. give his "I Have a Dream" speech, and then proudly take part in the March on Washington with my brothers and sisters who stand up for what is right and just.

Would you rather be forced to wear shoes every second of your life or never be able to wear shoes again?
Even though I hate walking around with no shoes, I feel like logically the play is to go without shoes because how on earth can you keep clean if you never take your shoes off...quite the pickle I say.

What is your favorite word and why?
I love the word Bumfuzzled. The mere invention of the word leaves me...well...bumfuzzled.
