Our first baseball game in Mazatlan!

Last week, we went to our first baseball game here in Mazatlan with our friends Jim and Fabiola. Fabiola is from Los Mochis, about 4 hours north of Mazatlan. The game was the Mazatlan Venados (deer) against the Los Mochis Caneras (canes). The game started at 8:00 pm. During the game, the generators blew and the lights went out. The game was stopped for a few minutes as the field was not lit enough for the players to see. Also, there were a few fights that broke out and the police hauled away about 20 people. As you can see in the photos, the vendors came around with some very interesting food. Some of which we didn't recognize. Also, a very unusual way of serving the beer.

Greg and I aren't sure if we will be purchasing season tickets, but it was a very entertaining game. The Mazatlan Venados won 5 - 4. Here are a few pictures we took at the game.

These ladies were waiting for us at the gate.

This is the door to one of the suites. Jim's last name is Ramirez so that is why he is pointing to the name on the door. It's not really his suiten though.

The Mazatlan Venados

At one point during the game, we were on this screen.

The Venados mascot, the deer.

The cerveza vendors came around with buckets of Pacifico on ice. He would open the bottle and pour the cerveza into styrofoam cups. $150 pesos or $1.50 a beer. Pretty cheap, huh

Some sort of ceviche.

Mango! Papaya! Pineapple! Watermelon! anyone?

Jim enjoying the "Wings Army", a new restaurant in town, hot spicy chicken wings. Where are the hotdogs? No hotdogs served at this game.

Some sort of munchies. We did recognize the peanuts.

How about a candied apple?

Could Jim be a Mazatlan Venado?
