The Mexican Pacific League (Liga ARCO) recently highlighted a remarkable achievement by infielder Esteban Quiroz, who has accomplished something no other player has done – playing for all four professional baseball teams from the state of Sinaloa, Mexico.
The league’s official Instagram account posted an image of Quiroz wearing the uniforms of the four Sinaloan teams – Tomateros de Culiacán (represented by a tomato emoji), Venados de Mazatlán (deer emoji), Algodoneros de Guasave (cloud emoji), and Cañeros de Los Mochis (sugar cane emoji). The post caption reads: “En todo Sinaloa 🥁😎 Esteban Quiroz ya jugó con los 4 equipos sinaloenses 🦌🎋☁️🍅 ¿Con cuál ha lucido más? 🤓🙌” (Throughout all of Sinaloa. Esteban Quiroz has already played with all 4 Sinaloan teams. With which has he shined the most?)
Quiroz’s Unique Achievement In Mexican Baseball
This achievement is particularly notable in the context of Mexican baseball, where players often develop strong affiliations with specific teams. The Mexican Pacific League, officially known as Liga ARCO for sponsorship reasons, features ten teams across northwestern Mexico, with four based in the state of Sinaloa.
Quiroz, known for his versatility on the field, has managed to wear all four jerseys throughout his career, establishing himself as a true journeyman of Sinaloan baseball. The league’s post invites fans to weigh in on which team saw Quiroz perform at his best.
Quiroz’s unique achievement of playing for all four Sinaloan teams places him in rare company in Mexican baseball history. As the Liga ARCO continues to develop talent and entertain fans across northwestern Mexico, Quiroz’s journey serves as a testament to the interconnected nature of the state’s baseball culture and the opportunities that exist for players to experience different team environments within the same region.
