Fiesta Tigres honors Latino contributions to game - Detroit, Michigan

“The Tigers will celebrate the contributions of Latino players to the game of baseball at ¡Fiesta Tigres! on Saturday, September 2 at Comerica Park.

Prior to the Tigers-Angels 7:05 game, this cultural celebration includes an opportunity to see Baseball! ¡Beisbol! - the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s traveling exhibit dedicated to the accomplishments of Latino players. The bilingual panel exhibit from Cooperstown sponsored by CITGO Petroleum also celebrates baseball’s impact on the culture of Latin American countries. Baseball! ¡Beisbol! will be on display along the Comerica Park concourse from September 1-6, 2006. ¡Fiesta Tigres! will also include salsa dancing, a live DJ, and mariachi bands. Nuevo Zapopan, Los Politicos, and Rick Cantu and others are scheduled to perform. A concourse auction of items autographed by Latino players to benefit The Detroit Tigers Foundation will also be held. ¡Fiesta Tigres! will conclude with a special on-field ceremony saluting the team’s current Latino players.”
