I know baseball is popular in many latin american countries, though not as much as soccer of course. How much do people, boy/girls/men/women play baseball or softball in Mexico? I love softball and would like to play some while I'm there. If girls don't play softball, what do they play?

Where will you be? There are definitely softball leagues (men's and women's) in Oaxaca at least.

I don't know where I'll be. Just wondering if it existed at all.

Not being much into sports either as a participant or an observer, I asked my (university) students about local sports leagues. They told me that there are local women's leagues for both softball and soccer in this city.

I never thought about a womens softball league..... Its been ages since I played but I might not be a bad idea.... I really need to get out of the office more. Who sponsors/runs these kinds of leagues?

I'm not sure who runs the leagues but I think the easiest way to find out, if you know where some teams play, is to just go up and talk to the players. I only know about the one in Oaxaca because I live near a softball field (I think it's oficially a kids' baseball field but they use it for adults softball too). I know some of the baseball leagues have official websites, so maybe try a search on a Mexican search engine (google.com.mx or similar) and search for softball. I think in Spanish it's just "softball" too. The sites will be in Spanish of course.
