The Fourth Annual Vamos a Tucson Mexican Baseball Fiesta takes place at Kino Stadium from October 2 – 5. This year’s teams include four of the top teams from the Mexican Winter League – the Naranjeros de Hermosillo, Yaquis de Obregon, Tomateros de Culiacan, Mayos de Navojoa as well as some the best young players in baseball – the Dodgers and Royals Future Stars. The Naranjeros, representing Mexico, won the Caribbean World Series earlier this year. That series includes the top talent from Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and the Dominican Republic.
