On social networks, Cetys Universidad announced that Luis Alonso Mendoza will no longer be the manager of the Tijuana campus baseball team, the Bears, who play in the tournament that the Tijuana Amateur League dedicates to Arturo Amaya and Juan José Ríos. And it is not because of bad results, he receives his retirement from the educational institution, after 25 years of service, in which he achieved important triumphs in diamonds.
Some of the most notable, the crown of the National Universiade, held in Tijuana, winning in the final against the Cimarrones of the Autonomous University of Baja California. In fact, in the regional baseball stage of the National Sports Council of Education, CONDDE, the most recent, the Cetys squad, under the orders of Luis Alonso, obtained the honors and the right to participate, once again, at the National Universiade.
In the biggest celebration of high-level student sports, Cetys went 3-0, although the crown finally went to the Colts of the Technological Institute of Sonora, who, playing at home, beat Chihuahua in the final.
In the Conadeip competitions, an event for private higher education institutions, Cetys Universidad, under the leadership of Luis Alonso, was always the protagonist.
In his years leading the Cetys Universidad team, Mendoza coached players such as Jorge Inzunza, Virgilio Corrales and Carlos Orozco, at one time manager of the Toros de Tijuana, the Mexican Baseball League club. Marco Almonte, Maylito Peña, Germán Orozco, Thomas Rocha, Alejandro Salas, Adrián Vargas, Miguel Reyes and Marcos Díaz, the Rookie, also played under his orders. Some of them played professionally, Maylito and Adrián were selected as Mexican softball players, a flannel that Peña still defends in international competitions. Germán Orozco’s son plays in the current Cetys Universidad Bears team.
Since 2002, Cetys Universidad has participated, uninterruptedly, in the Tijuana Amateur Baseball League tournaments, winning titles and always being in the fight. Next Sunday will be the last game that Luis Alonso will lead the team, which is in fifth place in the standings, with a record of six wins and six losses.
In the game the previous Sunday, in which the Bears beat the Reds, while we were talking with the esteemed professor Loreto Calvillo, we saw that they were taking photos of Luis Alonso and we never imagined that they were for the Cetys Universidad social networks, announcing the retirement of the gentleman handler.
Román Rivas, who played professionally in the Mexican Baseball League, is Luis Alonso’s coach on the team and it may be he who takes his place or the institution appoints another person. Cetys Universidad has a team of high school students playing in the Youth Amateur League, directed by Fidel López, who could be another option to lead the institution’s main team.
Luis Alonso, one of the guests of the Tijuana Sports Hall of Fame, is grateful to the institution, which gave him the opportunity to grow as a helmsman and live with many young people, who are now good people. Not long ago, well, the previous season, as a recognition of his career, Luis Alonso was invited by the Toros board to throw the first ball in one of the matches.
We will point out his career as a baseball player on another occasion, since the space has ended and we will leave it here… for today, continue taking care of yourselves, using a face mask and antibacterial gel, in addition to keeping a healthy distance.
