Grupo Multimedios and Major League Baseball (MLB) have had an important approach to start working on a project that has big objectives, and one of the main ones is to have MLB games in Monterrey.

Taking advantage of the scenario presented by Minute Maid Park as one of the venues for the World Series, Francisco González Albuerne and Jesús González Albuerne, directors of Grupo Multimedios, as well as Guillermo González, vice president of Sports for the same Group, met with MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred, with whom they talked about the interest that Multimedios has in working with MLB on plans like bringing MLB teams to Monterrey, as well as other initiatives.

Knowing the deep passion and great knowledge that fans have for baseball in Mexico, as well as MLB's well-known plans to invest heavily in Mexico, the González brothers made this meeting happen, from which they achieved great progress for the benefit of baseball.

For a long time now, Grupo Multimedios has supported and believed in the King of Sports, and what just happened in the city of Houston translates to a big step in that project of a great work plan that is not only focused on MLB but also on strengthening Mexican baseball.

THE MEXICAN MARKET PLEASES THEM

Since Manfred took office at MLB, he has made it clear that the Mexican market is one of his priorities in the list of projects to develop, and Grupo Multimedios has approached to offer the entire platform it has to carry out a good number of those plans.

The organization of MLB has made it clear that they want to bring games to Mexico, especially to Monterrey in the immediate future, after visiting Fray Nano Stadium in 2016 for a series of two Spring Training games between the Houston Astros and the San Diego Padres.

One of MLB's historical moments in Mexico took place in 1996 when the first regular season series outside the United States or Canada was held. In August of that year, the San Diego Padres faced the New York Mets at the majestic Estadio de Beisbol Monterrey, the home of the Sultanes. The Californians won the confrontation in front of a large crowd.

Later, for the 1999 season, Major League Baseball decided that the Colorado Rockies and the San Diego Padres would have an Opening Day game, also in the Sultana del Norte, where they received a great response from the fans in Monterrey.
