Based in San Luis Potosi, San Luis Potosi, the San Luis Potosi Charros were members of the Mexican Center League for two years, 1969 and 1970. They were a farm club of the Jalisco Charros and in 1971 changed their name to the Tuneros de San Luis.
In 1969 San Luis Potosi won the first half (43-18-1) and finished second in the second half (38-27), then beat the Zacatecas Petroleros in the finals, four games to one, to take the title. They drew 39,361 fans, 6th in the 8-team league. Managed by the now-legendary Cananea Reyes, the team was second in offense (705 runs) and third in pitching/defense (518 runs allowed). The club was very well-balanced and no player had an outstanding year. Fidel Vega (15-5, 2.30) was third in the league in ERA as their top pitcher.
The club was not quite as good in 1970, going 66-60, though Vega had a fine year both on the mound (12-8, 2.75) and in the field (.295, 16 HR).
