On March 26, 1964 the Class A Mexican Southeast League began play. It was the fourth league South of the Mexican border to be admitted into the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues an organization now simly known aas Minor League Baseball. The first three were the Mexican National League which did not survive its first year which was 1946. The second one was the Mexican League which was admitted in 1955 and is to this day running strong. The third league was the Mexican Center League which was admitted in 1960 and lasted until 1978.
For the 1964 season the league had one club in each of the States of Campeche, Tabasco, Veracruz and Yucatan. The would later add a couple of teams and peak out at six clubs before it folded after the 1970 season. Only the team from Tabasco would be there in the final season.
