Toros de Camagüey (English: Camagüey Bulls) is a baseball team in the Cuban National Series based in Camagüey. Formed after the Cuban state redefined its provinces in 1977, the Toros advanced the next season to the league championship series, but fell to Henequeneros. They last won group C in 1997-1998.
History
A professional team from Camagüey had briefly played in the abortive Cuban Federation League of 1946–47. The modern team was established in 1977, but there was another team playing in the Camagüey Province nicknamed the Granjeros (Farmers), who started playing in 1967 and can be considered the Toros predecessor.[1]
Young Camagüey pitcher Vicyohandri Odelín and first baseman/center fielder Leslie Anderson played for Cuba at the 2006 World Baseball Classic.
