Ierxium your probably jokin but yeah of course Mexico plays baseball, Unless Canada is better than I think (their pitching staff I dont like that much), Mexico and the U.S will qualify from that group.

yeah I know Dominican vs Venezuela
I had that as the final and now theyre facing off in the 1st round.nice.

I want to see that Asian group and how it fold out, can you imagine the crowds at those games haha. Those are gonna be some battles.

when South Africa plays USA no doubt the mercy rule will be in effect lol.

Lets see how many Cubans defect.....

In the last olympics Italy got killed by minor league competition, geeze imagine now.

haha you never know he probably will, last I checked he was still playing in the Mexican League lol
Fernando MANIA!!!

i think the lineup for the US team is going to change. i would like to see Hafner get on there as a DH or backup 1st baseman. and unless they stop checking for steriods, i dont see sammy sosa making any team.

Eddie for finding that site you officialy need a life more than I do!!!!

italy is gonna get murdered like 50 and the Game SON!! HOLLA!

Actually i was going to ask if Mexico had a team. I don't if there are a lot of players or not that play on any MLB teams. I only know of Vinny Castilla, but he's getting on in his years (38 years old).

Are there any other notable players from Mexico?

dude all I did was punch up Italian baseball on google and it came out right away
Be proud of your little league lol

oh and this is nothing compared to when I was bored in class and I found all those InterMilan fan sites

I agree Sosa sucks now without the roids, but his country still loves him so I dont see him not getting chosen

Notable Mexicans in the Majors
Jorge Cantu
Luis Ayala
Vinny Castilla
Ramon Castro
Elmer Dessens
Erubiel Durazo
Geronimo Gil
Estaban Loiza
Rodrigo Lopez
Antonio Osuna
Oliver Perez
Dennys Reyes
Ricardo Rincon
Oscar Robles
Ismael Valdes
Oscar Villareal
and maybe a suprise appearence by no other than
Fernando Valenzuela!!

Plus Mexico has their own league and they have decent players, one of their teams went pretty far in the Carribean World Series.

HORALE!

oh and why isnt Colombia in this, we have two more players in the majors than Holland, Italy and South Africa combined, Edgar Renteria and Orlando Cabrera
If theres one thing about us is if we're gonna produce a Major League talent, he's gonna be a All Star Shortstop with a World Series Championship ring lol
apperently not enough players to make a national team

I wouldn't put it past Mexico to make a surprise turn of events by winning a couple games.
