"This has become my most favorite promotional series of our season." says Jennifer Reynolds, Rawhide General Manager. "It's impossible to get into the theme of these games - from the ballpark workers, to the fans, to the players on the field - everyone enjoys the cultural elements of these games. It's great food, festive music, and excellent baseball as we are nearly undefeated as 'Los Toros'!"
"The game of baseball is a very big deal in Latin American countries, and this national campaign brings some of that cultural flavor to the game here in America, which I know means a lot to our Latin players & coaches" says Reynolds.
