The Board of Directors of the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League (LVBP), announced this Friday, July 12, that the 2024-2025 season will be played in honor of Victor Davalillo.
The decision was made following the approval of the eight participating teams, at the end of the first day of the Annual Convention, which takes place in Cancun, Mexico.
The legendary “Vitico” Davalillo, a glory of national sport, passed away on December 6 in Caracas, at the age of 84.
The left-handed outfielder and slugger is considered the most complete hitter in the history of the LVBP, having collected four batting titles and 1,505 hits, an all-time high, over 30 seasons, despite having signed as a pitcher with the Leones del Caracas at the end of September 1957.
Representatives of the charter circuit contacted the Davalillo family, who approved the tribute.
They also announced that the regular round will begin on October 15.
First day of the LVBP:
This is how the first day of competition will unfold.
- Braves vs. Lions, at the Simon Bolivar Monumental Stadium
- Magallanes vs. Sharks, at the University City Stadium
- Caribes vs. Tigres, at the José Pérez Colmenares Stadium
