Overview
edit- The franchise that was known as Celaya was bought by Jorge Rodríguez Marié, who moved the team to Cuernavaca and changed its name to Colibríes de Cuernavaca.[1] Such was the impact of his ownership that the team's nickname, Colibries, came from the logo of his airline, Aerolineas Internacionales, and the company's wordmark also appeared as a shirt sponsor.
