The baseball is maybe US class AA-AAA level, but since these teams are not farm clubs for the major American teams, the players are here for the season, which is much more important from a fan standpoint. It is a great way to spend part of a summer night. The stadium is out along the seaside road about a mile from the main city just below the hill on which Fuerta de San Jose stands. The team was received by Mexican President Vincente Fox after their 2004 victory in which they eliminated their archrivals, the Tigers of Merida and then the two-time consecutive champion Red Devils of Mexico City in the Southern Division playoffs - the Seraperos of Saltillo in the championship series. http://www.lmb.com.mx/ for more on the Mexican Baseball League = LMB, Liga Mexican de Beisbol. Quadrangular in Spanish is HOME RUN.
This night the Pirates rallied to win 4-2 sending the locals home happy into the warm night.
Tickets are very popular so get tehm in advance. there may be people selling some outside before the game if it is sold out though.
