I\u2019m originally from Sayulita. Sports are my passion, especially baseball. I\u2019m 50 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 14 years old, I started playing with the Los Jaibos team from Sayulita. We played in the municipal league.
At 30 years old, I became the manager of the Jaibos team and was the first manager to lead the team in the state league (for the first two seasons). Due to personal commitments, I couldn\u2019t continue in the following seasons. This year, I returned as manager at the request of several Jaibos players, with the hope of retiring with a state league championship in Nayarit baseball, with the Jaibos team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As far back as I can remember, the Jaibos team has been a very strong team in the area, winning about 80% of championships.
They had excellent players that I had the privilege of watching, such as Javier Jim\u00e9nez, Rodrigo Pe\u00f1a, Carlos Mariscal (all from Sayulita), Jes\u00fas Meza (from Lo De Marcos, who always played with the Jaibos), Jes\u00fas Rodr\u00edguez, and Ram\u00f3n Guerrero.
They were managed by Juan Guerrero.
Javier Jim\u00e9nez also played in the Northwest League with the Pureros de Compostela, as I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s part of Sayulita\u2019s history because baseball has been played here for many years. It\u2019s a passion of the town, where families come together. Nowadays, there are new generations in the small leagues, called the Jaibitos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will be used to purchase equipment for the team, like balls and wooden bats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d like to invite everyone to the playoffs, which start this Friday, January 10, at the Jaibos\u2019 home field, where we\u2019ll host the Vaqueros de Rosamorada.
We\u2019re excited to have qualified in second place during the regular season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
