Adventures in overseas baseball: Viva Mexico!

You'll have noted my absence from the 'Pit earlier this week. Mrs. SnakePit and I headed to Rocky Point, partly for our anniversary, partly to scope out the location for the SnakePitette's intended wedding next year - she and her fiance accompanied us. This was intended to be two entirely baseball-free days, but it didn't quite work out that way, as on the way into town, we noticed the Estadio de Beisbol Francisco Leon Garcia. [Note: I have been unable to discover who Francisco Leon Garcia is, or why he deserved to have a park named after him] Turns out, since 2011, it has been home to the Tiburones de Puerto Peñasco - the Rocky Point Sharks.
