What better way to spend a summer evening in Mexico than enjoying "America's favorite pastime"...baseball! The Marineros are Ensenada's hometown team, playing in the semi-pro developmental league, Liga del Norte. The stadium is a fun, family-friendly place with great concessions at reasonable prices.
