Mets played first ever game in Mexico 12 years ago today

While the New York Mets did lose this game, it was a very special game indeed. Up until this day, no MLB games have ever been played in Mexico, or outside of the United States for that matter. It was a Friday night game that everyone would remember.

The Mets lineup consisted of guys like Edgardo Alfonzo and Todd Hundley. The Padres sent out Tony Gwynn and even Rickey Henderson.

The Padres began the game scoring runs non stop. They gave up two runs in the 1st inning and another three in the 4rd.
