Franchise History
On April 14, 1955 Tigres made its debut at Julio Molina's baseball park in Mérida, Yucatán. Their inaugural game represented the hard determination of entrepreneur Don Alejo Peralta y Díaz Cevallos to support the sport that by then was submerged in a financial crisis.
The team has won ten championships to date. (1955, 1960, 1965, 1966, 1992, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2011)
