#47---Mexico v. United States, 3/7/2006 (World Baseball Classic)


This was the first game played by the US and Mexico in the WBC. It was a pitcher's duel, with solo homers from Derrek Lee and Chipper Jones accounting for the only runs. Looking at the substitutions, you can see that Buck Martinez and the Americans were treating it much more as an all star-type game, although in fairness they had much more depth to substitute, and while Jones came in for ARod, he hit a key homer.
