The Charros de Jalisco (English: Jalisco Horsemen) are a professional baseball team who compete in both the Mexican League (LMB) and the Mexican Pacific League (LMP), based in Zapopan, Jalisco, in the Guadalajara metropolitan area. Their home ballpark is Estadio Panamericano, which has a capacity of 16,500 people.
Charros have existed in various incarnations since 1946, playing in the summer-time Mexican League for much of their existence.[1] The modern franchise played its initial season in the winter Pacific League in 2014–15; originally the Algodoneros de Guasave, it was purchased in April 2014 by a group of investors led by Armando Navarro and moved to Jalisco.
In November 2023, the Charros purchased the Mariachis de Guadalajara, and announced their return to the Mexican League. They will play in both Mexican professional leagues, becoming the second club to do so after the Sultanes de Monterrey.[2][3]
