Chess Club Delivers Major League, All-Pro Sports Opening for St. Louis

By Travis H. Brown

They called him one of the best closers of all time in St. Louis Cardinals history. But today, his opening game was hard enough – on the chess board.

Over his major league baseball career as a hard-throwing reliever, Todd Worrell has pitched over 256 saves. Today, celebrating the opening of the U.S. Chess Championship, Worrell came out of the bull-pen with his aggressive, high-speed burners. However, this time it was a bishop screaming off the mound.
