Joe Torre and Green Tea

As more and more men are trying green tea because of all of the health benefits, we were delighted to learn that Joe Torre, Phil Simms and Chris Simms all drank Bigelow Green Tea. All three had unique stories about how they started drinking Bigelow Green Tea, starting with Joe Torre. Joe’s nutritionist told him to make green tea a regular part of his diet after his bout with prostate cancer in 1999, and so Joe drinks anywhere from six to eight cups of iced green tea during each game:

During the sixth inning of every game I have a soy shake and throughout the game I will drink anywhere from six to eight cups of iced green tea. Both are supposed to play a preventive role against prostate cancer and since I like the taste, it’s not a problem.

For me, it was so great meeting Joe Torre during our advertising photo shoot in Central Park in New York City. He was a complete delight with all of the fans that day.

Growing up I was a huge Willie Mays fan and followed the San Francisco Giants every year. When I told Joe about being a Willie Mays fan, he said he also grew up a New York Giants fan and loved watching Willie Mays play. Green tea and sports legends like Joe Torre have made my job very exciting!
