I recall watching the game (s) ..... Renteria solo HR !!!!!!!!
...and someone said something like guess we can call it now world championship, the Canadians took it.
Baseball is big in Mexico too; North, Gulf Coast, Mx City. Caribbean countries have too a big thing for baseball.
My grandfather played here in the States way, way back in time; not major league but he loved the sport; sad is that none of his three sons followed him, he was a Dodger fan.
I did like baseball at some point in my childhood but there was no one to play with and the kids that did I guess wanted to practice punch the guy with me or so I learned a few years back...
Football all we needed was a couple rocks marking the goals and a ball.
