Wikipedia - El Águila de Veracruz
El Águila de Veracruz (English: The Eagle of Veracruz) is a professional baseball team that plays in the Mexican League. Based in Veracruz, Mexico, they play their home games at the Estadio Universitario Beto Ávila.
History
Baseball was introduced to Veracruz during the early 20th century by employees of American and British oil companies. Native employees began to take an interest in the games, played by the managers of these companies, who then purchased uniforms for the new players. The uniforms they purchased were red, which had a lasting effect on future baseball teams in Veracruz. Mexican Eagle Petroleum Co., a Mexican oil company now known as Pemex, was the inspiration for the name of the first baseball club founded in Veracruz, the Rojos del Águila ("Reds of the Eagle"), founded on September 16, 1903.
The Veracruz team is known for their passionate fan base and their competitive spirit on the field. They have won several championships throughout their history, including the Mexican League championship in 1948, 1950, 1952, 1955, 1960, and 1969.
The team's home field is the Estadio Universitario Beto Ávila, which has a seating capacity of over 7,500 spectators. The stadium is named after Beto Ávila, a former Veracruz player who went on to have a successful career in Major League Baseball.
Veracruz has produced several notable players over the years, including Fernando Valenzuela, who went on to have a successful career in the Major Leagues, and Vinny Castilla, who played for several Major League teams and was a three-time All-Star.
Overall, Veracruz is a respected and competitive team in the Mexican League, with a rich history and a loyal fan base.
