After spending the last 12 major league seasons outside of
the city of Mexico City the league and its players are making a return to the
Mexican capital. Major League Baseball is set to return to Mexico City, Mexico
for two spring training games between the Houston Astros and the San Diego
Padres.
MLB has not been in Mexico’s capital since March of the 2004
season when these same Astros faced off against the Miami Marlins in a two game
exhibition series. This time around the games will be played on March 26th
and 27th at Fray Nano Stadium home of the Red Devils of the Mexican
Baseball League. The venue can hold about 5,000 people.
