Mexican League (baseball)
The Mexican League (Spanish: Liga Mexicana de Béisbol) is a professional baseball league based in Mexico. It is a Class Triple-A league in organized Minor League Baseball, one step below Major League Baseball (MLB). Unlike the other two Triple-A circuits, the International League and the Pacific Coast League, Mexican League teams are not affiliated with Major League teams. The current champions are the Rojos del Águila de Veracruz.
The Mexican League has three minor leagues of its own, the Liga Norte de Mexico, Liga de Beisbol del Noroeste de Mexico, and the Mexican Academy League (a summer and a winter league). An additional circuit, the Mexican Pacific League, is unrelated.
