St. Paul Saints News Release

ST. PAUL, MN – You’ve just blinked once, and the season is officially halfway over at the end of the his homestand. That’s right, 75 of the 150 games on the schedule are in the rearview mirror as soon as Sunday hits. The Saints are happy to say, “adiós” to the first half and begin 0-0 when the second half begins. The season isn’t some fad that started a couple of years ago nor is it a piece of technology that lasts two years before something better comes along. We’re Minnesota made and we’re the place friends, family, and all the important people in your life gather to make summer memories. Let’s look at it in a glass half-full sort of way. Half the season may be over, but there is still half a season left after our June 18-23 homestand.

Copa de la Diversi ó n 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. The Saints will become Santos de San Pablo and wear specialty uniforms with a unique new logo. The Saints primary logo is a combined inspiration of their mascot, Mudonna, and sugar skulls, traditional folk art from southern Mexico. The Saints will wear light blue jerseys with “Santos de San Pablo” across the chest. Oscar award-winning artist, Dan Navarro, will also be in attendance. For 40 years, Navarro has been an artist, songwriter, including Pat Benatar’s Grammy-nominated “We Belong,” singer and voice actor, spread over 17 acclaimed albums, thousands of concerts, more than 3,500 shows all over the world, and vocal appearances in more than 40 movies and TV series, including the #1 hit “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” along with Coco and Happy Feet.
