The team celebrated the home countries of the Latino players on their roster and other countries represented in the Round Rock community.
Several times throughout the season, the Round Rock Express transform into the Chupacabras de Round Rock as part of Minor League Baseball's Copa de la Diversión initiative. "Copa de la Diversión," or "Fun Cup," is a season-long event series specifically designed to embrace the culture and values that resonate most with participating teams' local U.S. Hispanic/Latino communities.
An alleged urban legend, chupacabras have reportedly been spotted throughout Texas and northern Mexico for decades. Round Rock's team mentality embodies the chupacabras' relentless determination, fierce attitude and superhuman ability to avoid capture.
Each Chupacabras de Round Rock game will feature various entertainment groups, food options, merchandise, players, vendors, etc. to celebrate the Hispanic/Latino culture that is heavily prevalent in our community!
