The Mexican Pacific Baseball League, of which Aguilas de Mexicali Baseball Club is a member, has confirmed there will be a season this year.

The decision was made during a meeting held in Guadalajar­a, Jalisco, Mexico by representa­tives of the league’s 10 teams.

The league based its decision on the employment needs of all those who participat­e in the season, from players, staff, drivers, coaches, food and drink vendors, and souvenir dealers.

These workers need means to fill their tables, the league said.

The organizati­on added that games will be played by following health protocols that will be revised by public health authoritie­s.

The season has been set to start by the second week of October.

“I thank team owners for their commitment given this complex scenario,” League President Omar Canizales said in a prepared statement. “We had set the goal to start our season by addressing all recommenda­tions imposed by these times and that had been set by state and federal authoritie­s.”
