While colloquially known as "America's Pastime," baseball has a rich international tradition that has been on full display this month. Last week saw World Baseball Classic qualifiers in Mexicali and Panama City, and on Tuesday the Rays traveled to Cuba to play a historic exhibition in Havana with President Obama on hand.
If you span the Spring Training landscape you'll find the Ngoepe brothers of South Africa in Pirates camp, and Lachlan and Alexander Wells, twins from Australia, pitching for the Twins and Orioles, respectively.
And this weekend, the Padres and Astros will travel to Mexico City for a pair of exhibition games, which are the first in the city since 2004, and this comes on the heels of MLB announcing an expanded presence in Mexico.
