In December 2005, the Diamonds in the Rough exchanged heated words with Major League Baseball catcher A.J. Pierzynski.
Chicago White Sox C A.J. Pierzynski stated that playing this game has helped him better recognize pitches while batting.
Yorvit showed some potential, but when Benito Santiago left via free agency in 2003, the Giants opted to trade for A.J. Pierzynski rather than test Torrealba as a full-time player.
