Rangers infielder Omar Vizquel plans to try bullfighting when he returns to his native Venezuela this offseason.
"Just go and learn the basics and stuff," Vizquel told the Associated Press on Monday. "It's one of my things on the to-do list. There's a lot of things still to do."
Vizquel, 42, hopes to also try parachuting, flying in an F-16 jet and attending all three Triple Crown horse races.
He also already plans to return to baseball next spring for his 22nd season.
