New York Mets, International Sensations

G-Fafif Jun 28 2010 08:59 AM

Though the Mets will continue to play all their baseball on United States of America soil/artificial turf for the rest of the season, it occurs to me their next two series are, strictly speaking, taking place outside the 50 states. Can any team that isn't or wasn't Canadian say or ever been able to say that?

That's pretty good. Obviously this is the franchise the world wants to see.

I imagine there are other teams that played the Nats and then the Blue Jays. particularly in the AL East.

Also, nobody likes the Marlins. They're the asshole kid with an asshole dad in the NL East classroom.
