Tacuarineros de Culiacán

The Tacuarineros de Culiacán baseball club was one of the four original founding members of the Mexican Pacific Coast League, a minor league circuit that operated in Mexico in the seasons from 1945-46 through 1957-58.[1] They were managed by Manuel Arroyo.[2]

The Tacuarineros were based in Culiacán, the capital of the state of Sinaloa, and played its home games at the Autonomous University of Sinaloa ballpark in their first three seasons.[2] They moved to the Estadio General Ángel Flores for the 1948-49 season, when they won the first of their five pennants, repeating in the 1949–50, 1950–51, 1951–52 and 1955-56 campaigns.[3]
