History
Professional baseball in Ciudad Obregón dates back to 1947, when the first club was established, nicknamed the Arroceros (Rice Growers). In 1958, the team changed its nickname to the Rojos (Reds), and in 1964 to the Trigueros (Wheat Growers).[3]
The Yaquis de Obregón were founded in 1970 and the team played its first game on 8 October 1970 in the Estadio Tomás Oroz Gaytán.[4]
The team has had 6 championships. The first one was in the 1965–1966 season with Manuel Magallón as coach. The next two titles were on the 1972–1973 season under Dave Garcia and the 1980–1981 season under Lee Sigman. On 27 January 2008 the team won their fourth championship, defeating Venados de Mazatlán four games to one, with Homar Rojas as manager.[5]
Managed by Eddie Díaz, the team won the 2010-11 championship, defeating Algodoneros de Guasave four games to three, and went on to win the 2011 Caribbean Series contested in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. The team won a second and third consecutive title after winning the 2011–2012 and 2012–2013 championships under Díaz. Later, they went on to win the 2013 Caribbean Series. The 2013 Caribbean Series was the first to feature a final game after a round-robin tournament. The final game lasted 18 innings, ending at 2 am local time. They are the first team in the Liga Mexicana del Pacífico to win three championships in a row.[2]
Stadium
The Yaquis first played in the Álvaro Obregón Stadium from its inception until 1971, when the Estadio Tomás Oroz Gaytán was inaugurated.[6] In 2016, the team moved to the newly inaugurated Estadio Yaquis, with capacity of 16,500 seated spectators.[7]
