Minor League Baseball fans know that baseball season means it’s time for Copa de la Diversión (or “Fun Cup”) — a season-long event series designed to “connect teams with their local US Hispanic communities.”
For special games and events, the Giants transform into the Churros de San José — named for the fried snack you might enjoy while watching a ball game. The logo also features a hat-wearing churro to honor iconic churro vendor Hippolito who was formerly a vaquero and often wore a cowboy hat to games.
Copa de la Diversión began in 2017 with four teams in Charlotte, Durham, Visalia, and Las Vegas. The next year, it expanded to 33 teams and added a little competition. The 2018 winner? The attendance-record-breaking Mariachis de Nuevo México in Albuquerque.
This year, 90 MiLB teams will compete to be crowned campeón based on ballpark experience, community engagement, and philanthropic impact.

- Churros vs. Modesto | Friday, May 5 | 7 p.m.
- Churros vs. Modesto | Saturday, May 6 | 7 p.m.
- Churros vs. Fresno | Saturday, June 3 | 6 p.m.
Just be sure you’re representing your team in style.
