What we don't have is in the MiLB DB is his Mexican League record..  If anyone can help with more information, or a better English translation of his obituary, it would be appreciated.  But just I'm grateful to learn a new word for jonron.  Muchas gracias.

La tercera vez que se vuelven a medir fue en 1989 era el año de los “Bombarderos del Golfo”.

En aquella ocasión, los Piratas de Campeche sacaron la escoba y se despacharon rápidamente a los Diablos Rojos en 4 partidos. Los dos primeros encuentros fueron en el desaparecido Venustiano Carranza y los filibusteros terminaron la obra en el Distrito Federal, con una excelente actuación del moreno Roy Johnson, quien se encargo de enterrar a los escarlatas.
