Description	"Parque Los Berros, in Xalapa, Veracruz, is located a short distance to the southeast of the center of town, in the neighbourhood of the Stadium. ... On his site, most probably the army campground, around April 20, 1847, that members of the Fourth Illinois Infantry Regiment played the first game of baseball in México, as gathered from oral tradition and recorded in a 1909 publication, perhaps the first ever played outside the U.S. As a bat, they used the "wooden peg leg" of Antonio López de Santa Anna that they had captured a day or so before, at the Battle of Cerro Gordo.
