The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, highlighted the role of Mexico in the 2023 World Baseball Classic, where they fell in the Semifinals (6-5) against Japan.
Congratulations to the Mexican baseball players! We had never gone so far in this exciting sport. We almost touched the sky. Other opportunities will come,” said the president.
The final will take place next Tuesday, March 21 at 4:55 p.m., a game that you can tune in through Imagen Televisión, Channel 3.1
López Obrador stressed that “such an important role had never been played in sport” and congratulated the members of the team and the Mexicans.
We were about to beat one of the best teams in the world, the very outstanding work of the Mexicans, of the baseball players who represented our country, horses, everyone, was outstanding,” said the president.
It was not until the ninth inning when Japan took the lead on the scoreboard, so López Obrazor did not hesitate to continue recognizing the work of the Mexican ballplayers who were less than three outs away from bringing joy to more than 120 million Mexicans:
They deserved to win.”
You already know well how this sport is, it is not half measures. It is not for ‘softies’, it is not for mediocre”.
Regarding the work of manager Benjamín Gil at the head of the Mexican team, the president assured that there is absolutely nothing to reproach him for, since his work on the diamond was outstanding:
A hug to everyone, to Benjamín Gil who directed very well”.
In addition, he also sent a hug to Randy Arozarena, who, before the World Classic was played, asked his followers to support him so that Andrés Manuel López Obrador would grant him nationality and, thus, be able to defend the colors of the ninth Tricolor; he is now one of the favorites of the fans.
Long live Mexico, we show what we are made of, head, heart and… character, courage, that’s what we Mexicans are,” he said.
