The Red Devils believe in no one, taking over the first position in the South Zone and when that happens it is necessary to talk about the greatest rival they have and hope that that team is also fighting to access the first places in the standings.
The reality is different, since the once powerful Tigres are walking “down the street of bitterness”, a situation that does not help the quality of the competition in the hot ball.
The cats, installed in Cancun since 2007, had always been characterized by being a team of great players and results; a ninth that was always fighting for the playoffs. Not for nothing was the so-called “Civil War” created, that is, the confrontations between them and the Red Devils of Mexico.
But for this it is necessary to go back to the time when Diablos and Tigres shared a house, that is, the Social Security Park and even with the changes of headquarters, to Puebla and Cancún, the countless battles between these two are legendary. The games they continue to have are not detracted, but lately it has been with opposite situations.
On April 21, 1955, the first version of the Mexican baseball classic was played in said venue, when the Red Devils “visited” the Tigres de México. That day began the great rivalry known as “The Civil War.”

After an emblematic career in the capital and countless chapters against the Scarlets, they achieved 8 championships, leaving an indelible legacy. Then the decision was made to move the team to Puebla in 2002. Under the name Tigres de la Angelópolis, they won their ninth title, but after five years they became the Tigres de Quintana Roo. There they obtained their last three titles, for a total of 12.
The last award was obtained in the port in 2015 and since then this novena has not obtained the best and seems, for the moment, far from returning to the top. Although they will surely already be taking actions to appear again in a big way, to enforce what their slogan says: “The team that was born champion.”
UP AND DOWN
Referring to its last three seasons, we have that in 2022 the team finished with 44 wins and 46 losses, finishing in fifth place, a status not at all in line with the times of glory, but things got worse the following year.
In the 2023 season, the Tigers finished in sixth place with 39 wins and 51 losses, but managed to access the playoffs against their greatest rival, which won the series 4 games 2
In the current one, until this Monday, the cats are in last place, with just 4 wins and 11 losses, coming precisely from a sweep by Águila de Veracruz and in the Tigres’ own stadium, the Beto Ávila.
As if that were not enough, in the most recent series between Diablos and Tigres, held at the Alfredo Harp Helú Park, the Pingos won by sweep, thus exacerbating the crisis that is being experienced in Cancun.
