Second to last, we have the other Mexico City team: Águilas de México.
This is another logo I didn't do, just a recolored version of the "Made in Mexico" logo. The nickname is of course based on Mexico's national bird, which can be found on the flag. The reason the Golden Eagle can be found on the flag is due to the myth of the founding of Tenochtitlán; after Huitzilopochtli told the then-enslaved Mexica people to leave Aztlán in order to reach promised lands, they were told to build the new city on the site where they found an eagle perched on a cactus while eating a snake. (There is debate as to wether the bird was truly supposed to be an eagle, a crested caracara or another bird). To go along with the foundation myth, the team will play in Parque Huitzilopochtli, the main mythological figure of Mexica culture and founder of Tenochtitlán.
The team is owned by entrepeneur Israel López. He'll pour all of his wealth into the team, but at the end of the day, López also demands a profit on his investments.
Running the day-to-day is Zapopan, Jalisco native Alejandro Elías. He used to be a legendary outfielder and is considered one of the best coaches in the country.
Will the playing squad be up to scratch? Let's take a look:
RHP Ezequiel Anguiano - 28 y/o from Ecatepec, Estado de México
Anguiano doesn't throw any breaking balls, but his mix of fastballs is good enough to get outs effectively.
LHP Leo Álvarez - 26 y/o from La Paz, Estado de México
His sidearm action and knuckle curve will fetch lots of strikeouts, but "Padre" will have trouble with the longball and location.
RHP Antonio Castañeda - 26 y/o from Ecatepec, Estado de México
His stuff isn't too good but he's a durable pitcher with good enough control to pitch a complete game.
LHP Mario Rodríguez - 33 y/o from Atenco, Estado de México
The veteran lefty throws a great slider and is good at attacking the zone, however the way he throws has him tired after a couple of innings.
C Octavio Nieves - 33 y/o from Cholula, Puebla
A known dressing room prankster, Nieves is great behind the plate. His bat is average at best but has raw power ability.
1B Miguel González - 25 y/o from Zapopan, Jalisco
Miguel is good at making strong contact, as well as an above average defender.
2B Octavio Torres - 31 y/o from Huehuetoca, Estado de México
His bat is pretty solid and he'll rarely strikeout. Octavio's glove is also great but he lacks throwing strength.
3B Ramón Martínez - 29 y/o from Mexico City
Formerly great at the hot corner, his bat is still serviceable but might be best as a 1B.
SS Carlos Castro - 32 y/o from Atizapan, Estado de México
Castro's a below average SS with a below average bat.
LF Edwin Acosta - 27 y/o from Kanasín, Yucatán
Solid on all fronts, batting cleanup will give him ample opportunity to show his talent.
CF Reynaldo Caratachea - 25 y/o from Ecatepec, Estado de México
His Spanish heritage has earned him the nickname "El Vasco". Caratachea is a very speedy outfielder with a disciplined bat, he won't hit it out the park but is fast enough to get extra bases frequently.
RF Luis García - 25 y/o from Mexico City
García has great bat-to-ball skills and a cannon for an arm.
