That Houston-Colorado game in Mexico City is the first time I realized that baseball isn't much played in Mexico; well, that is what one of the announcer folks said. Of course, I haven't ever given it that much thought, but I think I had it in my mind that baseball was a sort of popular sport in Mexico.
Okay, I figured I'd better go find that highlight reel again and this is what he said:
So I sort of misrepresented what he said, didn't I?
But now I am wondering just what is the scope of baseball playing in Mexico. I honestly have zero idea. Have never given it any thought until this first game they played on the 27th. Wasn't there some really hotshot pitcher from Mexico about 10 or so years ago? Fernando, or something. Probably longer than 10 years ago. This old brain makes time mistakes like that. He pitched for the Dodgers, no?
