List of Piratas de Campeche seasons

The Piratas de Campeche are a Mexican League (LMB) baseball team based in Campeche, Campeche. The team joined the league in 1980, after the Alacranes de Durango franchise relocated from Durango to Campeche. The Piratas made their debut on 14 March 1980 against the Plataneros de Tabasco, losing 2–5 at the Venustiano Carranza Stadium. Their first victory came on 16 March 1980 in the third game of the series against Tabasco, with Maximino León as the winning pitcher. Jerry Hairston Sr. served as the team's player-manager.

The team has won the Mexican League championship twice. The first in 1983 under player-manager Francisco Estrada after defeating the Indios de Ciudad Juárez in the final series 4 games to 3. The second in 2004, again with Estrada as manager, defeating the Saraperos de Saltillo in five games 4–1.

From 1980 to 1997, the Piratas de Campeche played in the Estadio Venustiano Carranza. The stadium was demolished after that year and the team moved to the Parque Leandro Domínguez, where they played from 1998 to 2000. Since 2001, the Piratas de Campeche have played in the Estadio Nelson Barrera, which was built on the former site of the Estadio Venustiano Carranza.

Season-by-season

Notes

  • The 1980 season was canceled due to the 1980 Mexican baseball players' strike. An extraordinary tournament was played that same year, but Campeche did not participate.
  • The postseason format for the 1983 season was somewhat unusual: instead of the traditional knockout stage, the top four teams from each division played a round-robin tournament, with the winner of each advancing to the final series.
  • For the 2010 season, in commemoration of the Mexican bicentennial, the South Division was renamed the Hidalgo Division in honor of Miguel Hidalgo.
  • The 2018 season was contested in a two-tournament format known as Spring and Autumn.
