The Patriotas de Venezuela baseball club was a founding member of the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League in its inaugural season of 1946.
Besides Venezuela, the circuit included the Cervecería Caracas, Navegantes del Magallanes, and Sabios de Vargas teams.
The Patriotas were owned and established by Juan Antonio Yanes, one of the early pioneers of professional baseball in the country, who also managed his team in parts of two seasons.
In addition, both Paul Richards, Eddie Popowski and Junior Thompson will manage the team at some point.
Following a change of ownership, the new owners renamed the franchise as the Licoreros de Pampero starting the 1955-56 season.
