Global Vision (Los Mets)

The New York Mets have recently been know for their International signings. Coming into the 2011, The Mets have players from seven different countries and territories outside the United States: Canada, the Dominican Republic, Japan, Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico and Venezuela. By signing these International Players, The Mets automatically become favorites outside of the United States. For example, In the Dominican Republic, The Mets are big for having Jose Reyes, one of the most electrifying players in the Major League who also won the 1st batting title in Mets History. They were also big by Signing Pedro Martinez, who is no longer with the team, in 2005. Martinez, being a national hero in Dominican Republic attracted many Dominican who cheered for him while he was with the Red Sox. They also had other Stars who were from other countries. Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado, both who are Puerto Rican helped the Mets reached the 2006 NLCS. The Mets have many times been called "Los Mets", Due to the Latin presence in the team. By signing all these international players, The Mets have a competitive advantage over other teams. They will have an easier time selling their Jerseys and Caps, simply because fans will cheer for their national players, who represents them in the MLB.
