PawSox reach out to Latino fans with new name at select games

PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) — The Pawtucket Red Sox says it’s changing its name for select home games to connect with the Latino community.

The Boston Red Sox Triple-A affiliate says it will go by the name Osos Polares de Pawtucket, which translates to Polar Bears of Pawtucket in English, for most Tuesday home games this season.

Thank you to Ella Risk Elementary in Central Falls & Mayor @JamesDiossa for helping us launch this exciting new initiative. We look forward to joining 32 other @MiLB teams in changing their name once a week and becoming the @osos_polares401 on Tuesdays!
