'''Venados de Mazatlán''' ({{langx|en|'''Mazatlán Deers'''}}) are a professional baseball team in the Mexican Pacific League based in Mazatlan, Sinaloa.

==History== In February 1958, Venados participated in an international tournament, dubbed the Pan-American Series, against two other club champions: Vanytor of the Colombian League and Leones of the Nicaraguan League.<ref>{{cite news |title=Colombia, Mexico sending champs to Managua series |url=https://paperofrecord.hypernet.ca/paper_view.asp?PaperId=834&RecordId=8&PageId=7656580 |access-date=27 February 2024 |agency=The Sporting News |date=February 12, 1958 |page=25}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Pan-American title captured by Nicaragua |url=https://paperofrecord.hypernet.ca/paper_view.asp?PaperId=834&RecordId=10&PageId=7656709 |access-date=27 February 2024 |agency=The Sporting News |date=February 26, 1958 |page=26}}</ref>

=== 2004–05: Championship and Caribbean Series=== In the 2004–2005 season, the Venados of Mazatlán won the Mexican Pacific League title for the seventh time. The Caribbean Series was held at Teodoro Mariscal Stadium in Mazatlán, and the Venados performed well out of the gate, winning twice against the Dominican Republic's Águilas Cibaeñas and Puerto Rico's Indios de Mayaguez.

The 2005 team had a star-studded lineup, including Miguel Ojeda, Elmer Dessens, Luis Ayala, Jorge Campillo, Vinny Castilla, Erubiel Durazo, Johnny Gomes, and Francisco Campos. The Venados beat Venezuela's Tigres de Aragua in their first head-to-head game, with Campos pitching a three-hit shutout.<ref>{{cite web|last=Mayo|first=Jonathan| title=Mexico shuts out Venezuela.| website=mlb.com | date=2005-02-02 | access-date=2010-11-21 | url=http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20050202&content_id=938174&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=null}}</ref>

==Stadium== thumb|Stadium Estadio Teodoro Mariscal was constructed in 1962 with a capacity of 14,000 and is primarily used for baseball. It is 325 feet down the stadium's right and left field lines and 400 feet to the center field wall. The stadium is located in between Avenida Insurgentes and Reforma near Bosque de la Ciudad and The Aquarium. A famous singer, El Coyote, is said to regularly attend Venados games at Estudio Marsical.
