HONORABLE MENTION #3...
Mexico vs. United States, Chase Field Phoenix (March 7, 2006)
-- 1st World Baseball Classic game on American soil --
2006 was the inaugurial year of the World Baseball Classic (a "World Cup"-like world tournament of baseball teams, created by Bud Selig). I've been to Spring Training three times in Arizona to watch the Brewers train, and going in 2006 was a no-brainer for me, as I could also see the first World Baseball Classic game ever for the United States. USA won the game 2-0 in front of 32,700 (in what was a fairly split crowd of Americans and Mexicans). The US scored their runs via 2 solo-homers... one by Derreck Lee in the 4th inning... and one by Chipper Jones in the 7th. Jake Peavy started and went three innings and then 6 relivers (throwing 1 inning each) combined with him to shutout the Mexicans!
