With I hat top to Andy Griffith.
A little while ago, while at Stormy Monday on Fox Lake here on the Chain of Lakes, I started watching our Chicago Cubs play some team called Los Mets. I know that was their name because it was on the front of their uniforms.
I must admit that I have never heard of a MLB team called Los Mets. I looked it upon the standings and there was no team by that name. Hell, I even Yahooed and there wasn't a team by that name. Probably should have Googled, but I'm a bit spiteful to those guys.
What I thought it might be is a new expansion National League team from Mexico as I know of a band called Los Lobos which is Hispanic.
Anyway, the Cubs and Los Mets were tied 2-2 when we left and went to the Legion on Nippersink Lake for karaoke. The Cubs went way up while we there and finally took an 8-3 lead when we got back home and I went downstairs to Margaritaville.
Good thing they had that many runs as they needed all of them. Up 8-5 in the 9th, ace reliever Marmol came on and after one out, proceeded to walk the next three Los Mets batters and then a single made it 8-7. A line drive caught by Marmol also doubled the guy off first and the Cubbies won over this new NL team.
After doing some thinking about it, I think it must be some sort of Hispanic thing.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Was the National Basketball Association the first league to perform such promotions? It obviously gets a little controversial when a league has an Arizona team (although from what I recall, Los Suns/Los Sols/whatever embraced the uniforms wholeheartedly).
