Often, new incarnations of the teams come about through new owners. Teams also cease after unsatisfactory results or bankruptcy. Since its foundation in , more than 90 teams have passed through the Mexican League, and the only organizations that have remained since their inception are the Sultanes de Monterrey , Diablos Rojos del Mexico , Tigres de Quintana Roo , Saraperos de Saltillo , and Piratas de Campeche Some sources claim that baseball reached Mexican soil because of the US military forces that participated in the US-Mexico War between and The last decades of the nineteenth century have been beneficial to the baseball boom, while American companies were investing in various sectors of the Mexican economy and their employees were broadcasting the game.
Since the start of the 20th century, baseball has become one of the favorite sports of all of Mexico. As early as , Mexicans' interest in baseball was such that sports journalist Alejandro Aguilar Reyes and his friend baseball player Ernesto Carmona founded the Mexican League. They had to overcome many difficult obstacles, especially when, on May 26, the rival Mexican Association prepared a "coup" against them, but managed to rebuff it.
In the period since, competing leagues have occasionally been formed, but have been absorbed by the LMB, the most famous being Central League in The sport's popularity rose immediately and culminated with the first Mexican-born major leaguers. During the so-called "first stage of the Mexican League" the league attracted several well renowned players from Cuba and the Negro leagues.
The era was mostly dominated by the teams in the central areas of the country, in and around Mexico City. The first champions were Regimiento 74, a team from Puebla. After that for a solid decade the Championship was only won by teams from the capital city, with Agrario de Mexico and Tigres de Comintra dominating with two titles each.
Because of the late foundation of the league, there never was a "dead-ball" era, which helped enhance the sport's popularity quickly. This along with the fact that it was only played on weekends, which allowed for easy following on a game-to-game basis, helped the sport grow. These moves were motivated by businessman Jorge Pasquel investing more money to raise the profile of the Mexican League and offering contracts which were in some cases higher than American Major League contracts.
These moves were also motivated by the anticipation of increased competition from former Major Leaguers who had been serving in World War II and were now returning home. The U. National League of Professional Baseball Clubs held that the baseball leagues and their commissioner are not violating antitrust laws specifically the Sherman Antitrust Act when they ban, trade, or otherwise change the playing eligibility of players.
The ruling went untested until the Mexican League was formed. One such player, Danny Gardella , was blacklisted because MLB claimed he had violated the reserve clause. On the other hand, Gardella's side claimed he had been fired by Giants player-manager Mel Ott during spring training because of frequent arguments, primarily about his salary.
Gardella charged that they were engaged in interstate commerce because the defendants had made contracts with radio broadcasting and television companies that sent narratives or moving pictures of the games across state lines. MLB then settled with Gardella and offered all Mexican League jumpers amnesty, protecting the ambiguity of the antitrust protection.
In , Gardella won a major appeal against baseball's reserve clause in the federal courts. Mexican lmb This successful appeal is recognized as the first major early step towards baseball free agency. For most of its existence, the league consisted of six to eight teams.
During its first few decades most of the league's teams played around Mexico City and the Gulf Coast. The southernmost team being Veracruz, while the northernmost team being Tampico. Most of Mexico City's teams disappeared in the late '30s, and were replaced by teams all around the country. It wasn't until the s, that the League first reached the northern part of the country with the introduction of the Sultanes de Monterrey.
Teams in Nuevo Laredo and Torreon soon followed. The west coast first had a team in with the emergence of the Charros de Jalisco. It still was a difficult region to gain popularity given the presence of the Mexican Pacific League , an important winter league in the northwest of the country.
The emergence of teams in the north was key in expanding the league's popularity. The north followed baseball closely, because of various aspects that all helped its teams thrive and has been the home of the most consistent teams in the league, with the Saraperos, Sultanes and Acereros not having stopped play in over 40 years.
This achievement should be attributed mainly to Anuar Canavati, who is considered one of the greatest Mexican baseball executives along Peralta and Harp. His relationship with MiLB was key in the growth of Mexican baseball. Southern Mexico has also been a bastion of baseball, with both the Tabasco and Campeche teams enjoying consistent attendance due to the sport's popularity.
For the season teams were divided into geographic zones to lower travel costs, however it was not until three years later that the league introduced a playoff system for the first time. 
In the first of what is now called the Serie del Rey was held. The members of each zone have changed frequently as teams have come and gone particularly for those teams in a central location , but each zone has maintained a core of the northernmost and southernmost teams.
In the League introduced the designated hitter rule. The league has found the stability it lacked in the 90s, and has managed to sustain 16 teams for almost two decades, although some teams have relocated, and attendance has been inconsistent, though has rebounded in the latter part of the s with the opening of new ballparks and greater stability.
This led to unanimous approval for expansion to 18 clubs. In , the league announced that it would introduce a salary cap starting in the season , in an effort to ensure competitive balance. The league also approved a measure requiring each of its teams to have a minimum of 18 Mexican-born players on their man rosters.
That number is expected to increase to 20 in , and to 22 in In contrast to the Major Leagues in which teams commonly wear a white uniform at home, and a grey one for away games, with team-color jerseys only worn as alternates, Mexican League teams use a colored option as their regular road jersey, a practice started in the s to attract larger crowds and make teams more recognizable.
The current LMB regular season, consisting of games per team, typically begins in late March or early April. Each team's schedule is typically organized into three-game series. Postponed games or continuations of suspended games can result in an ad hoc one-game or five-game series. A team's series are organized into homestands and road trips that group multiple series together.
Teams generally play games five to six days per week, commonly having Monday or Sunday as an off day. Frequently, games are scheduled at night. Sunday games are generally played during the afternoon. In addition, teams will play day games frequently on Opening Day, holidays, and getaway days. In mid-to-late July, just after the midway point of the season, the LMB All-Star Game is held during a four-day break from the regular-season schedule.
The All-Star Game features a team of players from the North Zone, led by the manager of the previous North Serie del Rey team, and a team of players from the South Zone, similarly managed, in an exhibition game. It has been held consistently since and from that year up until a team of foreign players battled it out against a team of Mexicans.
The first all-star game took place on August 29, , in the since-demolished Delta Park of Mexico City, in a game between the selections of Ernesto Carmona and Manuel Oliveros. The game ended in 11 innings, 1—0 in favor of the Oliveros team after a walk-off home run. When the regular season ends at the end of August, between eight and ten teams enter the postseason playoffs. The top four finishers in each zone automatically qualify, however if the fifth place team in a zone finishes three or fewer games back of the fourth place team, that fifth-place team qualifies as a wild card and plays the fourth place team in a single game playoff.
That is followed by three additional rounds:. Within each zone the first seed the team with the best record will face the fourth seed on the First Playoff, while the second and third seeds face each other. Since , home-field advantage in the Serie del Rey is determined by regular-season records of the two zone champions, replacing a system used previously where the champion of the zone that won the All-Star Game would receive home-field advantage.
Between and , 45 players tested positive at the Mexican League's Prevention and Control of Substances program, all of whom were suspended according to the organized baseball anti-doping rule, headed by the Major Leagues. This has caused controversy among the fans and media who have called for the firing of league president Javier Salinas. As recently as August , a player has tested positive, and a press release informing the media of said situation has been handed out, while protecting the player's name.
Gustavo Torrero, a well-known baseball commentator on radio and television, provides play-by-play for these broadcasts alongside Javier Figueroa and occasional guest commentators. Additionally, the LMB signed an agreement with Facebook to exclusively broadcast regular-season games and eight playoff games four for each championship during its season through Facebook Live.
These streams would be free and would be available from March 22 of that year on the Facebook page of the LMB.
