Team History[edit]
The Reynosa Broncos were members of the Mexican League from 1963 to 1971, before becoming the Bravos de Reynosa from 1972 to 1976. They briefly were back from 1980 to 1982, then returned once more from 1995 through 2003. They won their only Liga pennant in 1969 - no one on the team hit double-digit homers or drove in more than 62 runs, but the team boasted great pitching marks - Salvador Sanchez was 22-12 with a 1.84 ERA, Jose Pena 11-5 with a 1.35 ERA, Israel Buentello 11-4 with a 2.45 ERA and Alejo Ahumada 12-4 with a 2.07 ERA.
In 2009, they once again joined the liga, replacing the Tijuana Colts. In 2015, they became known as the "Broncos de Tamaulipas", after Reynosa's home state.
