| 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. |
