Mexican Baseball
Mexican Baseball League to Start June 28th
June 24th, 1925 - Mexico City, Mexico Following the merger of the Mexican Baseball Association and the Mexico City Baseball Association, manager Ernesto Carmona and Alejandro Aguilar Reyes "Fray Nano" have announced the formation of the Liga Mexicana de Beisbol. After several meetings with team owners, they have reached the following agreements: - Messrs. Eduardo Ampudia (México), Ernesto Carmona (Agraria), Gral. Andrés Zarzoza (74 Regimiento), Agustín Verde (Águila), Jesús García (Guanajuato) and Jorge Bixler (Nacional) will be the owners of the Liga Mexicana clubs - The league will be formed by 6 teams with a schedule of 14 games per team, starting on June 28th and ending July 14th of the present year - Every club can have a maximum of 20 players or less, Mexicans and foreigners, according to each one's needs - Inscription is 50 pesos per club. If a club retires, they have 24-48 hours to reintegrate, otherwise they'll be out of the league These were the most important of 35 points touched during the last meeting. The league is set to start on Sunday, Jun 28th with the game between Club México and Agraria de México. ------------------------ Some notes about this save: - I will be starting a historical game in 1925 - Real transactions and lineups are on to have MLB results as close to real - I added the Mexican League and will be changing it according to real life changes when necessary - The first 11 years, players will be fake because tracking of statistics began in 1937 - From 1937 on, player ratings will be calculated using OOTPs engine based on IRL stats (where available) - When a Mexican player moves to the MLB, I will delete the player automatically created by the historical engine and replace him with the one I created, this so players have their full history including the Mexican leagues* *Players originally drafted into the MLB, such as Marco Estrada, will not be edited in any way ------------------------------------------------ Travel in Time: To go past the "Missing Years" (1925-1936) skip to post #31

Play Ball!
June 29th, 1925 - Mexico City, Mexico We had our first-ever Opening Day in Mexico City as Nacional defeated Agraria 1-0 in nine innings. Javier Palomo collected the league's first ever hit with David Hernandez collecting the first win after allowing 6 hits and no runs. Elsewhere, Guanajuato defeated Club México 2-0 and 74 Regimiento bested Rojos del Águila 7-4. Águila's Victor Centeno hit the league's first home run in his team's loss.

Guanajuato crowned First Liga Mexicana Champions
July 18th, 1925 - Guanajuato, Mexico After a game that can only be described as a "long and hard-fought battle," Guanajuato will be crowned as the first-ever Liga Mexicana Champions. Here are the final standings: # Team - Rcrd - W% - GB 1. Guanajuato - 9-5 - .667 - - 2. México - 9-5 - .667 - - 3. Nacional - 7-7 - .500 - 2 4. 74 Regimiento - 7-7 - .500 - 2 5. Águila - 6-8 - .429 - 3 6. Carmona* - 4-10 - .286 - 5 *Agrario changed its name mid-season Due to the tie for first place, a tiebreaker game was scheduled between Guanajuato and Club México. It was a long and hard-fought battle. Guanajuato's Harry Perez reached on a single in the bottom of the first. Then Jorge Peña made an error. Then Alex Perez grounded out. Then Bobby Palos hit a sacrifice fly and Harry scored. That was it until the top of the 5th. Picture José Torres in the batter's box, two outs with runners on third and second. He then proceeds to have a 9-pitch battle, including 4 straight fouls before scorching a groundball for a single, allowing both runners to score. One inning later, Armando Baca tied the game for Guanajuato with another sacrifice fly. From there, it was a pitching battle. México's Rubén García threw 11 innings, 138 pitches while Nelson Vazquez threw 172 pitches in the same amount of innings. Finally, in the bottom of the 12th, Alex Perez hit an infield single with the bases loaded to end the game and seal the championship win for Guanajuato. ------------------------------------------ Comparison to real life: # Team - Rcrd - W% - GB 1. 74 Regimento - 10-4 - .667 - - 2. México - 10-4 - .667 - - 3. Carmona - 8-6 - .571 - 1.5 4. Nacional - 7-7 - .500 - 3.5 5. Guanajuato - 5-9 - .357 - 5.0 6. Águila - 0-10 - .000 - 8.0 Just like in the sim, there was a tiebreaker in real life. Except that in real life, it was a 4-game series which 74 Regimiento won over Club México to become the first champions of the LMB in reality.

1926 Mexican League Baseball comes to a close
August 31st, 1926 After the last weekend of games, we finally know which teams will be facing each other in the Serie Final: Gabay de Pachuca and Agricultura de México. Here are the full standings: First Half #. Team - Rcrd. - W% - GB 1. Gertrudis - 9-3 - .750 - - 2. Guanajuato - 8-4 - .667 - 1 3. Carmona - 6-6 - .500 - 3 4. Jalapa - 6-6 - .500 - 3 5. Artillería - 5-7 - .417 - 4 6. San Luis - 4-8 - .333 - 5 7. México - 3-9 - .250 - 6 Second Half #. Team - Rcrd. - W% - GB 1. Agricultura* - 6-2 - .750 - - 2. Artillería - 7-3 - .750 - - 3. México - 6-4 - .600 - 1 4. Jalapa - 6-4 - .600 - 1 5. Pachuca** - 4-3 - .571 - 1.5 6. San Luis - 3-7 - .300 - 4 7. Guanajuato - 2-9 - .182 - 5.5 *Agricultura de México replaced Carmona in the league ** Gertrudis moved to Pachuca and became Gabay de Pachuca ------------------------------ Comparison to real life: In real life, Jalapa won both halfs and were crowned champions with no need for a final series. San Luis abandonded the league after 4 games with México and Guanajuato abandoning after 3 games in the second half. I tried to emulate this by releasing their players and auto-filling with lower quality ones.

Agricultura de México win first title
September 7th, 1926 Agricultura completed a Final Series sweep of Pachuca to take home their first Championship. Despite their hardships this season which included a name change, Carmona's boys dominated Pachuca winning 2-1, 2-1 and 7-1 with former Phillie, Lew Fonseca, taking the Series MVP honors. Harry and Alex Perez, who played with Guanajuato last year, won their second title in a row and became the first ever players to do so.

Champions Disappear
April 28th, 1927 Following the preseason meetings of the Liga Mexicana de Beisbol, it was announced that Guanajuato and Agricultura de México had decided not to continue in the league. It was also announced that Gendarmería de México will take their place instead. Club México and Tuneros de San Luis will also return to the league, following their abandonments last season. Guanajuato and Agricultura will always be remembered as the first league champions. The 1927 season will start July 2nd and will consist of 16 games per team, to be played only on weekends. There will be no playoffs this year, meaning the team with the best record will be crowned 1927 Liga Mexicana Champion.

Pachuca win first title
August 8th, 1928 Pachuca de Hidalgo have won the 1928 Liga Mexicana de Beisbol after a dominating season. They become the fourth different team to win the championship. Here are the full standings: #. Team - Rcrd. - W% - GB 1. Pachuca - 11-4 - .733 - - 2. Chiclets Adams - 9-6 - .600 - 2.0 3. Policía - 8-7 - .533 - 3.0 4. Carmona - 8-7 - .533 - 3.0 5. Comintra - 8-10 - .444 - 4.5 6. Puebla - 5-10 - .333 - 6.0 7. Sindicato - 5-10 - .333 - 6.0 --------------------------- Comparison to real life #. Team - Rcrd. - W% - GB 1. Policía - 13-5 - .722 - - 2. Puebla - 13-5 - .722 - - 3. Carmona - 9-8 - .529 - 3.5 4. Comintra - 8-10 - .444 - 5.0 5. Sindicato - 7-10 - .412 - 5.5 6. Chiclets Adams - 6-11 - .353 - 6.5 7. Pachuca - 5-12 - .294 - 7.5 Policía won their first and only title after beating Puebla in a tiebreak series. Note: I'm going fast through these early seasons simply because there is no real life data available aside from teams folding/appearing, schedule lengths and standings. When we reach the 1937 season I will go slower, perhaps month-by-month with updates about storylines, players, new teams, etc. as I believe the most interesting part of this sim will be seeing how the real life players perform and how their teams do.

Chiclets Adams Win First Title
July 2nd, 1929 After a strong season in which they lost only 3 games, Chiclets Adams de México have won their first ever LMB Championship, becoming the fifth different team to do so. Here are the full standings: #. Team - Rcrd. - W% - GB 1. Chiclets - 11-3 - .786 - - 2. Puebla - 6-7 - .462 - 4.5 3. Comintra - 5-6 - .455 - 4.5 4. Azcapotzalco - 5-8 - .385 - 5.5 5. Delta - 5-8 - .385 - 5.5 And for the first time ever, we present this year's "Best Nine" P - Rubén García (Chiclets Adams) C - Hank Severeid (Puebla) 1B - Carlos Domínguez (Azcapotzalco) 2B - Carlos Reyes (Delta) 3B - Rubén Ramírez (Chiclets Adams) SS - Mike Durán (Puebla) LF - Howie Williamson (Delta) CF - Tony Acuña (Comintra) RF - Tony López (Delta) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: My copy of The Mexican League: Comprehensive player statistics 1937-2001 arrived today! So I'll get to simming these early seasons faster and work on setting the stats to start playing out the "modern" seasons. Comparison to real life: #. Team - Rcrd. - W% - GB 1. Chiclets - 11-5 - .688 - - 2. Delta - 11-5 - .688 - - 3. Comintra - 7-9 - .438 - 4.0 4. Puebla - 7-9 - .438 - 4.0 5. Azcapotzalco - 4-12 - .250 - 7.0 A 3 game series was won by Chiclets Adams to win the championship. The "Best Nine" was also real: P - Charles Cortizzos C - Pancho Torrijos 1B - Ramón Montes de Oca 2B - Rafael Argumosa 3B - Chon Ortega SS - Chucho Torrijos OF - Jesús Becerril OF - Berlín Gutiérrez OF - Rafael Reyna Again, stats were not collected from these early seasons and with 8 years to go until that point it is unlikely that we see any of these names again.

Cardenales - 6-19 - .240 - 13.0 The book doesn't mention a "Best Nine" for this season, and it only mentions some of the managers, which I have put in game.

Melo Makes History!
September 20th, 1933 Yesterday marked a historic date for baseball in Mexico as well as for the MLB. Cleveland visited Boston and, in the 9th inning, Baldomero "Melo" Almada made his debut with the Red Sox, becoming the first mexican player to debut in the Major Leagues. Melo was 1-0 with a strike-out. The 20-year-old from Sonora had been playing in AAA with the Seattle Indians for two years, accumulating a .346/.391/.422 line which caught the eye of Doug Reed, Boston's General Manager. Melo had been with the team for a couple days before finally being played in the game against Cleveland.
