Dodgers minor league teams take part in ‘Copa de la Diversión’

PHOENIX — The Dodgers have three affiliates among the 33 teams taking part in “Copa de la Diversión” in 2018, an effort across minor league baseball to celebrate diversity and the Hispanic heritage in various markets.

This is a very detailed and thoughtful project, much more than simply slapping “Los” before each participating team name. As MiLB described it, “Each participating team created culturally-relevant on-field personas that honor their respective U.S. Hispanic/Latino communities.”

Spread throughout the season, the participating teams will wear special caps and uniforms, and in many cases will have relevant live entertainment and special food items to celebrate the event.
