Giorgio Tavecchio, a huge international soccer fan, wanted to take home a piece of history from the Oakland Raiders game at historic Estadio Azteca. So the Raiders kicker grabbed a ball that had the NFL In Mexico logo emblazoned upon it when the team arrived back at its headquarters on Monday.
Then he wondered if the K-ball he grabbed, labeled No. 1, might have been the one New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski booted 62 yards for a field goal at Mexico City's 7,200-feet elevation at the close of the first half.
