With 15 seasons in the winter circuit and 39 years old, Ramiro Peña achieved a historic achievement in Mexican baseball: 700 games played in the Mexican Pacific League (LMP). This national sports icon continues to leave his mark in a career that encompasses titles, memorable stories and a legacy that still expands.
The beginnings of an outstanding career
Born on June 18, 1985 in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Peña debuted with the Tomateros de Culiacán in the 2006-2007 season, facing the Mayos de Navojoa. From his first encounters, he demonstrated an innate talent that would consolidate him as a reference in the second base and shortstop positions.
Successes with the Tomateros of Culiacán
Over 13 seasons, Ramiro Peña defended the cherry colors, participating in 604 games and winning four LMP titles. During his time in Culiacán, he experienced a transformation from difficult seasons to glorious campaigns, achieving his first championship in the 2014-2015 season. He also represented the team in two Caribbean Series, establishing himself as a key player in its recent history.
A new chapter in Mazatlán
In the 2023-2024 season, Peña began a new stage with the Venados de Mazatlán, leaving behind his time with the Tomateros. In his first campaign with the Puerto Rojos, he led the team to the final, where they faced the Naranjeros de Hermosillo. Although he did not win the championship, he became an undisputed leader and the “captain of the ship” of Mazatlán.
International presence
In addition to his success in the LMP, Peña has played in three Caribbean Series, representing Tomateros and, more recently, the Naranjeros de Hermosillo as a reinforcement. His international experience also includes a unique milestone: he was part of the New York Yankees’ championship team in the 2009 World Series.
A growing legacy
At 39 years old, Ramiro Peña continues to be a pillar in Mexican baseball. His career places him among the LMP greats, and his goal to continue expanding his legacy promises more memorable moments for baseball fans.
With 700 games played and a history full of success, Peña is an example of perseverance and love for the sport. Without a doubt, its history will continue to mark the course of the Mexican Pacific League.
