MEX PAC OPENERS DRAW OVER 100,000 FANS


While wins are a baseball team’s ultimate measure of success on the field, a means of financial success comes through the clicking of turnstiles. On that latter basis, Mexican Pacific League front office leaders had to be happy with last weekend’s four Inauguration Series.
After teams had completed their two-game home-and-away series with leading rivals, the eight home openers brought in 102,605 fans, an average of 12,826 per game. Four teams drew crowds of more than 15,000, including 16,312 in Culiacan for the Tomateros’ game with Mazatlan, an even 16,000 for Mexicali’s opener against Hermosillo, 15,780 for Mazatlan’s game with Culiacan and 15,228 in Obregon for the Yaquis’ match against Navojoa. Hermosillo drew nearly 14,000 while Navojoa topped the 10,000 mark.
