It was a momentous day for Australian baseball on Monday as the Nationals squared off with the Guardians in Cleveland with immense talent on display both on the field and in the stands.
The constest featured Travis Bazzana in the Guardians' lineup and Curtis Mead suiting up for Washington, making it the first time two Australian-born players have played for different teams since 2017 and the first time two position players faced each other since 2011.
