The Houston Astros’ Triple-A affiliate Fresno Grizzlies unveiled new uniform and team name for one game only.
If you like tacos jalapeño in your face, then you know where to go on August 6.
Well friends, there’s hope: All you have to do is become a fan of Minor League Baseball and be able to feign an affinity for Fresno, Calif.
As the Fresno Grizzlies prepare to take on the Albuquerque Isotopes, the otherwise ferocious looking team will be sporting green and orange on the traditional white jerseys.
Thanks a lot, Grizzlies, now we can’t stop thinking about tacos.
“This is one of our largest-attended games of the year”, said Grizzlies Manager of Communications and Marketing Ryan Young, “and this is a way we can also give attention to the players on the field”.
“We created Taco Truck Throwdown to shine light on the original food trucks, to take these mobile taquerias that often operate on the outskirts, on dusty roads or in industrial areas, and put them in front of thousands of people, so they can see (and taste) the ultimate mom-and-pop businesses…”

For four years, the Fresno Grizzlies’ Taco Truck Throwdown has been one of the team’s biggest promotions of the season-at last year’s event, more than 27,000 tacos were sold by taco truck vendors from around the San Joaquin Valley.
