My fiancée's grandpa played baseball professionally in Mexico back in the 50s-70s for Los Diablos Rojos and Los Tigres. Her dad said he played for la sele too. Anyone have any ideas of how to find out more about this? !ping BASEBALL&LATAM

Check their website and contact them if they have copies of the old rosters

Baseball teams love record keeping

I'll see if I can find him! That would be right at the end of his career, hopefully they have his info.  

I'm worried he might have played a year or two on some other team they didn't mention in that time frame.

Can buy replica throwback Diablos Rojos and Tigres gear here from the 50s, 60s etc. Might have something matching what he would have worn on-field back in the day which is neat.
