Minor League Baseball says the Copa de la Diversión is back, and will be "bigger and bolder" for the 2019 season.
In 2018, 33 minor league teams participated in the season-long promotion, also known as the "Fun Cup." This year, MiLB says that number as increased to 72.
The goal of the promotion is to embrace and honor Hispanic and Latinx communities across baseball. The participating teams are given a new identity and colors, which are often much more brighter than usual.
Four of the Arizona Diamondbacks' minor league affiliates are participating this season, three of which are sporting new names.
The D-backs Triple A affiliate Reno Aces will be known as Los Corazones de Reno.
The Hillsboro Hops will be the Los Soñadores de Hillsboro.
The Visalia Rawhide will be the Los Toros de Visalia.
But the Kane County Cougars will still be the Cougars, just with different colors.
"Maintaining our full-time moniker, the Cougar’s long-range habitat, stretching from Canada to Argentina, mimics Kane County’s diverse demographic make-up," the team tweeted.
The new gear is available on the MiLB store website.
