As the summer season of baseball approaches its end in the US, Liga Mexicana de beisbol (Mexican baseball league) is just beginning its preseason winter league games. Aaron and I took in a game yesterday and will (hopefully) get to see the remaining games of the three game series today and tomorrow.
The navy's drum and bugle corps was on the field for the pregame presentation of the colors and there was a first pitch ceremony, as well. Puerto Vallarta doesn't have a team in the league and the two teams that are playing here are from nearby Guadalajara and from Mazatlan. Although the game was rained out after 4 and a half innings, it was a fun game to watch.
Ballpark concessions were a little bit cheaper than in the US. A legit quarter pound cheeseburger with all the trim, and order of fries, and a can of beer was $140 pesos, about $7 US dollars.
When the rain started, Aaron and I met up with the girls and some friends for drinks, switched bars so some could play pool, and then ended at a karaoke place.
We got some food at a couple of late night street vendors.
