As previously mentioned and examined, there is a whole host of former MLB players still attempting to revive their professional careers in the Independent Leagues in North America. Similarly, there is also a huge amount of players playing in the Mexican League.
The Mexican League was founded all the way back in 1925 and currently consists of 18 teams. Up until 2021, there were only 16 teams. However, there was a two-team-expansion officially approved in January of 2021.
In a typical season, Mexican League seasons are 120 games long, but last season consisted of just 66 games. Teams commonly play five or six days a week, usually having Mondays or Sundays as an off day. Games are usually at night and Sunday games are played during the afternoon, much like how Major League Baseball operates.
The league as a whole consists of 18 teams split between two leagues of nine each in the North Zone and the South Zone.
