The Copa de la Diversión (transl. Fun Cup) is an initiative by Minor League Baseball to promote the sport and connect its teams to their Hispanic/Latinx communities. Teams adopt a culturally-relevant on-field persona for certain games each season. The promotion started in 2017 with the Es Divertido Ser Un Fan (“It’s Fun to Be a Fan”) fan engagement program. Four teams participated: the Las Vegas 51s, who took the field as the Reyes de Plata (“Silver Kings”);[4] the Charlotte Knights as the Charlotte Caballeros; the Visalia Rawhide, who played as the Visalia Toros; and the Kane County Cougars, who did not change their name for the promotion. In 2018, the program was renamed Copa de la Diversión and expanded to 33 teams. A trophy (the “Fun Cup”) was awarded to the Albuquerque Isotopes franchise, who played as the Mariachis de Nuevo México and set new attendance records during Copa games. In 2019, participation increased to 72 teams. Six teams that participated in 2018 using direct Spanish translations of their usual team name adopted new identities for 2019. The number of participants increased to 92 for the 2020 season.
Nevada is known as the Silver State due to its rich mining history. The abundance of silver in the state lead to its admittance, as a state, into the United States during the later stages of the Civil War. Mines across Nevada relied upon the hard working migrant work force to extricate the precious ore from the ground. The importance of the Hispanic / Latino immigrants in Nevada’s original industry lead to the birth of this state and in doing so we pay homage to this history. This is why Reyes de Plata (Silver Kings) was conceived. The logo has fun and brings in elements of both the meaning of the name and the Hispanic / Latino culture. The miner carries a pick axe, but the head is a skull reminiscent of the Dia de los Muertos celebrations and the sugar skull.
