Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is a sister city of our town. We knew there was a LL team there as they had raised the money to make a trip here a couple of years ago to play in a tournament. Last Christmas we were fortunate to have vacationed there and my son packed a large duffel with several old gloves, shoes and socks, balls, etc.
When we went to the field to meet the coach and his players it was an awesome experience. Baseball truly transcends all cultural barriers. The look on my son's face when he and the coach handed the boys the equipment was priceless. They were so grateful and I know my son and I got at least as much out of the happening as they did.
