The Bowling Green Hot Rods announced today the team will join Minor League Baseball in celebrating diversity by joining Minor League Baseball’s Copa de la Diversión efforts in 2020.
The Hot Rods will wear special uniforms and take on a new identity as the “Bólidos de Bowling Green” for select games during the 2020 season. Bowling Green’s vibrant “Bólidos” identity honors the area’s Hispanic community as a translation from their full-time Hot Rods name.
The Bólidos de Bowling Green will take the field for the first time on May 5, 2020 when the team faces the Peoria Chiefs at Bowling Green Ballpark. They’ll don the Bólidos uniform again on July 24th when the Quad Cities River Bandits come to town and finally against the West Michigan Whitecaps on August 31st during the final homestand of the 2020 season.
