Wikipedia - Vegueros de Pinar del Río
Vegueros de Pinar del Río (English: Pinar del Río Tobacco Growers) is a baseball team in the Cuban National Series. Based in the western city of Pinar del Río, the Vegueros are historically one of the more successful teams in the Cuban National Series, winning ten championships, most recently in 2014. It is also the only Cuban team to win a Caribbean Series in the National Series era (post-1961).
History
Vegueros were founded in 1969, and were one of the most successful teams in the early years of the National Series, considered along with Industriales, Santiago de Cuba and Villa Clara. They won their first title in 1978 and would do so five more times in the next decade, including back-to-back wins in 1981 and 1982 and playoff wins in 1987 and 1988. In 1986, the first year that the Cuban champion was determined by playoffs, Vegueros sensationally lost in extra innings against Industriales.
Prior to the 1992-93 Cuban National Series, two teams competed in the province of Pinar del Río: Forestales (also known as Pinar del Río during some seasons) and Vegueros. A 1992–1993 contraction of the league, in which eight teams were eliminated, caused Vegueros and Forestales to be combined into a single team.
In 2015, Pinar del Río won the Caribbean Series, becoming the first Cuban winner since 1960.
