A 1933 ballgame between the Aztecas and the University of California, played at Parque Delta in Mexico City on May 20, puts a North American sport on a Mexico City field in the early 1930s. Baseball had spread through Mexico over the preceding decades, carried in part by travelers, students and businessmen, and by the early 1930s Mexico City had several clubs and ballparks. The caption card that accompanies the print is the source for these details, which have not been independently verified, so the teams, date and venue are best read as the record gives them.
