Two of the top clubs in the Mexican Winter League will be at Dell Diamond on Saturday evening September 24 for a “pre-season” exhibition ball game. This is part of a U.S. “Fall training” tour that the teams will be making prior to their season opening in mid-October.
The two teams, Naranjeros (Orange growers) de Hermosillo (Sonora) and Aguilas (Eagles) de Mexicali (Baja Calif. North) are successful franchises in the Liga Mexicana del Pacifico, the Mexican winter league. In fact, they have been the two most recent Mexican hosts of the Caribbean World Series (Mexicali in 2009 and Hermosillo in 2013). Naranjeros were the first Mexican club to win the Caribbean Series (in 1976) and have won the Series as recently as 2014. Hermosillo has captured 16 Mexican Winter League titles.
We will plan for this event to be our chapter’s September monthly meeting. Jan Larson has arranged for a block of tickets that are available to chapter members for $10 each. These tickets are available to you on a first-come, first-served basis. We can take orders up to September 10, or until this block of tickets is sold out. All ticket commitments as of that date are final, payable to Jan. Contact Jan at jan.a.larson@
We’ll see y’all at Dell Diamond for some exciting beisbol latinomericano.
