Hola, mis amigos. The calendar says summer, but the countdown says hurry up. With just two homestands remaining, it’s time to stand up and make the most of what’s left at CHS Field. There’s still plenty of time to get out and enjoy the native Minnesota summer before it slips away, and plenty of reasons to put off bedtime just a little longer. If you’re looking for something to do, we’ve got that covered, even if your four-legged friend insists on coming along. Bring friends, relatives, siblings, including your twins, as the penultimate homestand has plenty to keep you on your toes from August 25-30.

Wednesday, August 26 vs. Toledo Mud Hens, 7:07 p.m. – Copa de la Diversion
It’s the final Copa de la Diversion night of the season. “Copa de la Diversion,” 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. Enjoy the Twin Cities’ favorite Latin foods, show off your dance moves with the samba or tango, enter our dominoes tournament, and enjoy the sounds of a mariachi band. Welcome Santos de San Pablo as the Saints wear their specialty jerseys. The St. Paul Saints started their Latin initiative back in 2010, as an Independent Professional Baseball team, with Viva Los Santos. A Saint transcends across numerous nationalities and religions and is of particular importance to the Latin community. The name St. Paul Saints has not only been important in representing the city since 1993, but likewise Santos de San Pablo is a name the local Latin community helped create in 2010. The vibrant colors in the logo represent the papel picado, a decorative craft made by cutting elaborate designs into sheets of tissue paper in Latin folk art. The eyes of the logo are to represent Mexican Marigolds, also known as “the flower of the dead,” while the logo itself shows the face of a pig displayed in the form of a sugar skull. Both play a key role in the annual Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival, and are meant to represent the many ballpigs of the past, which have been a long part of the St. Paul Saints’ history. Find out the best places across the state to embrace the Latin culture on an Explore Minnesota Wednesday.
Thursday, August 27 vs. Toledo Mud Hens, 7:07 p.m. – Native American Heritage Night Brought To You By Treasure Island Resort and Casino
Fun fact: the first Native American to don a baseball jersey was Louis Sockalexis of the Cleveland Spiders in 1897. One of the more famous Native American ballplayers from Minnesota is Hall of Famer Chief Bender, who tied a record by throwing three complete games in a single World Series. Learn that and much more as we present Native American Heritage Night, with the Prairie Island Indian Community, presented by Treasure Island Resort & Casino. Join us as we celebrate Native American culture and history through music, dance, language, food, and so much more. In all, 52 Native Americans have played in the Major Leagues, including former Boston Red Sox and New York Yankee, Jacoby Ellsbury (Navajo). Overall, there are 562 recognized Indian tribes, bands, nations, pueblos, rancherias, communities, and Native Villages in the U.S., and we celebrate them all. In recognition of Native American Heritage Night, the Saints will wear custom jerseys that were specially designed by the Prairie Island Indian Community. The word “Imnizaska,” the ancient Dakota name for the present-day city of St. Paul, in script will appear across the chest and include “St. Paul” in the tail of the “a.” The body of the jersey features a map of St. Paul and surrounding Dakota territory before settlement, with places of reference written in Dakota. The Saints will hold a jersey auction with proceeds benefitting MIGIZI, which provides a strong circle of support that nurtures the educational, social, economic, and cultural development of American Indian youth. The auction will run Thursday, August 27 at 6 p.m. CST to September 6 at 5 p.m. CST with the following link. To bid on the jersey’s click HERE.

Whether you bring the dog to the game, or your dog brings you, there will be plenty of fun for both. Fire hydrants will adorn the concourse, but only for the dogs, and various contests will go on during the day, including which owner looks most like their dog and which owner can sit, stay, and roll over on command. Make sure man’s best friend is on a leash, and hold on tight, because when a foul ball is hit there will be a mad dash to get the ball.
