Following the success of multiple events in select MLB stadiums across Arlington, New York, Boston, Detroit, Atlanta, and Minneapolis, 21 Events is pleased to announce its continued partnership with the PRCDA (Puerto Rico Convention District Authority) for the Puerto Ricos Day at the Ballpark series grand finale event, scheduled for Pittsburgh on September 16, 2023.
Leveraging the capabilities of LatinoBaseball.com, 21 Events set out on a mission to curate a series of baseball occasions designed to illuminate Puerto Ricos rich 125-year baseball legacy, which dates back to January 1898. This celebration also stands as a tribute to the multitude of exceptional ballplayers nurtured by the island throughout its history.
The spectacular conclusion at PNC Park will feature a myriad of exciting elements, including a live band playing acoustic instruments, engaging signage and visuals, an on-field tribute to Joshua Palacios before the game, and an exclusive pre-game screening of the movie 3000 Razones for select invitees. 21 Events collaboration with the PRCDA extends to the media, with compelling promotions aired through the local regional sports network (RSN) ,AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh, on both television and radio.
Furthermore, as part of the upcoming event, the event organizers commissioned custom artwork that pays homage to a Puerto Rican ballplayer, artfully weaving their distinctive Puerto Rican legacy. The player will be honored with an exclusive framed artwork, uniquely tailored, and presented to them on the field before the game.
The participating teams in the series include: the Texas Rangers, the New York Mets, the Boston Red Sox, the Detroit Tigers, the Atlanta Braves, the Minnesota Twins, and now the Pittsburgh Pirates. The players who have already been acknowledged include: Ivn Pudge Rodrguez, Edwin Diaz, Joey Cora, Francisco Lindor, Ramn Vzquez, Alex Cora, Javier Bez, and Joe Jimnez. Eddie Rosario, Enrique Hernndez, Willi Castro, Carlos Correa, Emilio Pagn, Christian Vzquez, and Jose Miranda. Juan Nieves, Alex Lange, and Riley Greene were also recognized off-field. And now, in Pittsburgh, Joshua Palacios will be awarded on-field this weekend.
We are delighted to extend our partnership with 21 Events as we continue to honor the rich legacy of Puerto Rican baseball players. It has been a true honor to recognize these players on the field before each game, and we eagerly anticipate future events in additional locations. As we culminate this years series with the grand finale event in Pittsburgh, we look forward to celebrating Puerto Ricos baseball heritage in style, stated Mariela Vallines, Executive Director of the PRCDA.
The profound pride I hold for Puerto Rico and its baseball players has found expression through each of these remarkable events. Our dedicated team has delivered outstanding productions, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the PRCDA for embracing our vision and choosing to expand the series. As we conclude this years series with a grand finale event in Pittsburgh, we eagerly anticipate continuing our collaboration in the future, with plans to make next year even more extraordinary, said Ralph Paniagua, 21`Events Managing Director and Publisher of LatinoBaseball.com
