History

The Ostioneros were one of the four original founding members of the Mexican Pacific Coast League, a winter league circuit that operated in Mexico in the seasons from 1945–46 through 1957–58.[http://baseballmexico.blogspot.com/2009/09/mexican-baseball-history-3-mexican.html Mexican Baseball History 3: The Mexican Pacific League]. Baseball Mexico. Article by Bruce Baskin. Retrieved on 7 November 2018. The team won pennant titles in the 1947–48 and 1950–51 seasons, managed by Juan Guerrero and Luis Montes de Oca, respectively.[http://espndeportes.espn.com/nota?id=296758 Campeones de la Liga del Pacífico]. ESPN Deportes (in Spanish). Retrieved on 7 November 2018. In 1950–51, Ostioneros shared the league championship with the Tacuarineros de Culiacán.{{cite book|last=Gastélum Duarte|first=Guillermo|title=Enciclopedia Conmemorativa del 75 Aniversario de la Liga Mexicana del Pacífico|url=http://www.lmp.mx/enciclopedia75|location=Culiacán, Sinaloa|publisher=Moby Dick Editorial|page=1031|language=es|access-date=19 September 2023|archive-date=26 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220626211315/http://www.lmp.mx/enciclopedia75}}

Before the 1958–59 season, the circuit was renamed Sonora Winter League and lasted through the 1991–92 season. This is considered the beginning of the modern era of what is now the Mexican Pacific League. The Guaymas club also competed in this second stage, winning titles in 1958–59 and 1959–60 guided by Manuel Magallón, in 1962–63 and 1964–65 with Guillermo Frayde at the helm,{{cite web|title=El cuarto título de Guaymas|url=https://mexicalisport.com/al-bat-520/|website=MexicaliSport|date=15 August 2013|access-date=6 June 2023|language=es}} and 1967–68 with Ronaldo Camacho, to won seven league titles in both stints.

The Ostioneros played at the Estadio Abelardo L. Rodríguez during its entire existence.{{cite web|title=Guaymas Apuesta por el Regreso Triunfal del Béisbol: Estadio Abelardo L.
