The teams loan super stars were Lonnie Summers and Jacinto Roque, both of whom spent time on other clubs.
Both teams had equal records on the last day of the season, yet a loss by Chihuahua and a forfeit by Saltillo's opponent gave the crown to the Saraperos.
Chihuahua's manager Manuel Arroyo was furious, and promised a local paper that the Dorados would win in 1957, which they did.
1957 marked the Gold men's first crown outright, posting a 62 and 38 record behind the great pitching of Antonio Dicochea, 17 wins and 157 strikeouts.
In 1958 the Dorados, skippered by Leonel Aldama, went 56 and 62 falling to fourth place, yet still leading the league in 58 with 59,917 fans in attendance.
Some of the greatest imports from the US during this time were: pitcher Duke Richards later with the Alexandria Aces 19 wins and 3 losses, catcher Moose Edmunds from the Bend Bandits, .329 avg with 15 home runs and 4 steals of home (two coming in one game), outfielder George Wallace Johnson Jr 62 Stolen Bases, and Tim Leone cut from the Edinburg Roadrunners, was a heavy hitting first baseman who clubbed an amazing 40 home runs in one season for Chihuahua.
In 2003, official talks were held and actions were made to bring Dorados de Chihuahua back into the LMB, along with the team from Juárez.
In 2007 The Mexican League announced the Tuneros de San Luis Potosí were moving to the city of Chihuahua.
Although the Tuneros never won an LMB pennant in San Luis, the old Dorados de Chihuahaua failed to even make the Mexican League playoffs in twelve seasons in the 1970s and 1980s.
The new Dorados featured such holdovers from the Tuneros as Sharnol Adriana, Darryl Brinkley and Pat O'Sullivan.
