Named for the Yaqui indigenous people — one of the most historically significant communities of Sonora — Yaquis de Obregón play in Ciudad Obregón, an agricultural hub in the Yaqui River Valley that has produced an outsized share of Mexico's finest baseball talent. The team plays at Estadio Tomás Oroz Gaytán and wears red, white, and black colors that are instantly recognizable across the Pacific League. Ciudad Obregón's baseball culture is among the most authentic and passionate in Mexico.
Back-to-back Caribbean Series titles in 2011 and 2013 — in Puerto Rico and Mexico respectively — propelled Yaquis to the forefront of international winter baseball and validated Ciudad Obregón's place as one of Mexico's premier baseball cities. The consecutive crowns brought well-deserved recognition to the Yaqui Valley and its extraordinary baseball heritage. The Yaqui people, who have long maintained a proud cultural identity, embraced the championships as a celebration of their community's enduring strength.

2011 — Mayagüez Conquest. In Puerto Rico's Estadio Isidoro García, Yaquis ended a long championship drought with a commanding Caribbean Series victory, marking Sonora's return to the top of international winter ball competition.
2013 — Home-State Double. Just two years later, playing in neighboring Hermosillo, Yaquis captured their second consecutive Caribbean Series title — an extraordinary feat that made the Yaqui Valley the undisputed center of Mexican baseball for half a decade.
