Olmec Champions 1993

Everything changed for the better in that year of 1993. Juan Navarrete took over the fate of the team and based primarily on recruiting wise foreign reinforcements, Rafael de Lima, Alexis Infante, Rusty Tillman and Todd Brown, coupled with pitching first class, broke a drought of fourteen years of not appearing in the postseason, and not only that, since the amazement of friends and strangers, got the title of the summer ball.

That season was a dream, after a shaky start, losing the first five games of the season and that foreigners were not responding, getting to have a tour of the north of 8 games lost, they managed to lift the team, he also had a streak winner of 11 consecutive games won, which team lifting frame, which certainly served some players to keep the job.

Already in the postseason, left on the road to rival the likes of Capital Tigers (now Tigres de Quintana Roo ), Mexico City Red Devils in the final and defeated the Owls of the Two Laredos .

The serpentine Cecilio Ruiz, Ricardo Osuna and Emigdio Lopez, Salvador Backed Colorado, Edgardo Saldana Retes and Ramon Lorenzo Serna, were essential to achieve that much coveted title.

Then came pouring accolades, Don Diego Rosillo was named Executive of the Year and Pitcher of the Year Ricardo Osuna, among other appointments. The 93 championship was a watershed, but has not managed to repeat the feat, Tabasco has been characterized by being in the top of the south and are constant appearances on Playoffs .
