Description | "North American workmen for the Mexican National and Mexican Central Railroads organized baseball teams in the capital city in 1882. Sporadic play resulted in permanent organization of the Base Ball Association in 1887, with three teams one of which comprised only Mexican players. " William H. Beezley, "The First Valenzuela and the Rise of Baseball in Mexico," North American Society for Sports History, Newsletter, 1984. The modern Mexican League was created in 1925. The Chicago White Sox made a training trip to Mexico in 1907, defeating "Mexico's top team," El Record, 12-2. See Virtue, "South of the Color Barrier," p. 27. The first game appears to have been played July 28, 1882, between the employees of two railroads. Most (all?) of the players were Americans working on the railroads. The National BBC beat the Telephone BBC 31 to 11. A July 26, 1887 baseball game there featured the Railroad and City teams, with the City team winning 27 to 4 in five innings. See Beezley, "Judas at the Jockey Club..." p. 19, 20. |
