'El Mariachi' Miguel Gonzalez starting season with high notes for White Sox

White Sox pitcher Miguel Gonzalez said singing runs not only in his family but in his small hometown of Pegueros, Mexico.

Music and singalongs accompany many parties there, and that's how Gonzalez found his affection for singing mariachi music. The passion has followed Gonzalez into his baseball career. He has earned the nickname "El Mariachi" and has been featured in Orioles and Sox team videos.

Sox manager Rick Renteria even had Gonzalez perform a full song one spring training morning.

"He's really good," infielder Yolmer Sanchez said.
