Tigres de Ciego de Ávila
Tigres de Ciego de Avila is a baseball team in the Cuban National Series.
However, in recent seasons, the team has turned their fortunes around, making it to the 2011 Series Nacional final. The following season, the Tigres bounded back to the finals again, this time winning their first ever Series Nacional over perennial favourites Industriales in six games. The Tigres have continued their run of form since, winning back-to-back championships in 2015 and 2016.
Ciego de Ávila placed two players, Roger Machado and Maikel Folch, on the Cuba national team for the 2006 World Baseball Classic.
In the 2013 World Baseball Classic, the Tigres had Vladimir Garcia, Yander Guevara and Rusney Castillo all playing on the Cuba National Team.
