Mexican Central League

The Mexican Central League was a Minor League Baseball circuit that operated for 19 seasons, from 1960 through 1978, with several clubs based across Mexico, primarily in the Northern Mexico, Bajío and Huasteca regions.

History

The Mexican Central League was formed in 1960 at the Class D level. It was placed in Class C in 1961, where it remained through the 1962 season. Upon the reorganization of Minor League Baseball in 1963, it was reclassified as Class A. In 1979, the circuit was absorbed into the expanded Mexican Baseball League (Liga Mexicana de Beisbol). This expansion elevated the Mexican Central League teams to Triple-A, with the newly expanded Mexican Baseball League featuring a 20-team circuit with four divisions.
