Home of the Apaches from Riito (who have historically been a powerhouse in the Liga Rural Del Valle de San Luis Rio Colorado). Goes by the name of Estadio Zacarias Contreras. Named after the now gone leftie who played for the Naranjeros in 1961-1962 and then made his home with the Apaches in the 60's and 70's. He is said to have reached the big leagues when he played for the San Francisco Giants back in the 60's. Better known players who have played on this field are: Alfredo "Paton" Aceves Sr. who played 1st base for Yucatan (his family owns one of the farms that surround the town) and Alfredo "Patoncito" or "Ace" Aceves who now pitches for the World Champions New York Yankees.

  • Como me trae recuerdos de los apaches cuando jugaban contra los otros ejidos. Cuando jugaban los originales como Tono Santos, Lupillo Aceves, Chano cazares, Zacarias Contreras, La Rana Herrera, Juan Pino, El Profe Oscar Miranda, El Profe Miguel Duran, Lico, El Guilo, El Totolo Paton Aceves y muchos mas que vinieron despues a formar la leyenda de los temidos APACHES.
