MEXICAN LEAGUE TRAINING CAMPS OPEN

Seven Mexican League teams opened training camp Monday in preparation for the Liga’s 85th season. The other members of the 16-team league will begin spring training over the next several days. The last club to open camp will be the Yucatan Leones, who will begin preseason workouts February 26 in Merida.


The Mexican League’s regular season will open March 24 when the Mexico City Diablos Rojos host Monterrey at Foro Sol in a rematch of last season’s LMB championship series. The Diablos beat the Sultanes, 4 games to 1, to cop their 15th Mexican League pennant.

Saltillo’s Kit Pellow won the Triple Crown in 2008 by batting .385 with 34 homers and 107 RBIs, easily winning MVP honors for the season.
