The legendary former player, tenth Mexican to reach the Major Leagues, successful manager, has passed to a better life
The Mochis, Sinaloa. October 24, 2018 (Andrey Fuentes / Club Cañeros) .- The afternoon of this Wednesday, the legendary player and former manager of the Cañeros, Don Benjamín "Papelero" Valenzuela, ceased to exist.

Due to his great career, Valenzuela has been recognized countless times by Cañeros and other teams and organizations. In 2007 the greens distinguished him as a personality on the 45th anniversary of the organization and in 2012 he was named "Best Manager of the first 50 Years of Cañeros".

On October 10, 2016, the number 14 that he used for most of his career was withdrawn, a number that since then has been on the "Emilio Ibarra Almada" stadium fence, recognizing him as immortal of the Los Cañeros de Los Mochis organization.

This Wednesday, October 24, it ceased to exist in earthly form due to renal failure. Don Benjamin is survived by his wife, Mrs. Yolanda Gámez, and seven children.
