The Guerreros de Oaxaca (English: Oaxaca Warriors) are a professional baseball team in the Mexican League based in Oaxaca City, Oaxaca, Mexico. Their home field is Estadio Eduardo Vasconcelos. ^[1]

History

In October 1995, a group of businessmen, led by Alfredo Harp Helú, learned that the Charros de Jalisco were unable to continue participating in the Mexican League. ^[2] These businessmen saw the opportunity to move the team from Guadalajara to the city of Oaxaca, and the project was officially presented at a meeting of directors of the league. ^[3] The franchise move was officially accepted in December of that year. This was the first time that Oaxaca had a professional sports team. ^[4]

The Guerreros, as they were named, played their first game on 14 March 1996 against the Petroleros de Minatitlán in the Parque 18 de marzo de 1938, under the direction of manager Alfredo Ortiz. The team recruited Mexican batter Nelson Barrera for its inaugural season. ^{[2] [5]}

The Guerreros won their first and only league championship in 1998 by sweeping Acereros de Monclova in the final series.

Former Major League Baseball player Oscar Azócar played for the Warriors in 2000.
