It's the dead of winter and you're not a basketball or hockey fan. And you can't wait for baseball's spring training to start. It's time to look at the Liga Mexicana del Pacifico. It's the Mexican Winter League, which is about to start its playoffs. How else can you learn that a longtime major league star is hitting .365 in Hermosillo, that Erubiel Durazo has 11 home runs for those very same Orange Growers (Naranjeros), or that former Angels World Series star Benji Gil is hitting .233 in Culiacan. You may want to brush up on your Spanish, but baseball fans should understand enough of the site to get their fix. And you'll be surprised at the names you recognize. Who is that Fernando Valenzuela who is 0-1 in three games with Mexicali? Yes, it is that Fernando.
