Mexico: Mexican Baseball League (LMB)
Opening Day April 11th
Fernando Valenzuela is arguably the best Mexican born pitcher to ever play in the MLB. Surprisingly, he has never been elected to the MLB Hall of Fame. What's up with that?
THE USA TRIUMPHS AGAIN IN THE LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES
Thanks to the awesome pitching by starter Jacob Bibaub and reliever Latham Norton, the Lake Mary, Florida Little League team defeated Chinese Taipei 2-1 in extra innings to become the World Champions! The Florida pitchers were helped by the "lights out" fielding and timely hitting, but ultimately, it was a botched play by the Taipei team that led to the walk-off run being scored in the bottom of the eighth inning. This was the USA's 6th straight Little League title. Congrats Lake Mary!
