The team was founded in 1965 by Homero Días Osuna, Óscar Ortega, Ildegar Pérez Segnini, Alfredo García Guevara and Foción Serrano. The team joined the LVBP as part of league's first expansion. In the team's seventh season the team won its first LVBP title, two years later it won its second which was followed by a third championship in the following year.
