Puerto Rico's Day at the Ballpark continues its 2026 nationwide series on July 21 at Globe Life Field, as the Chicago White Sox visit the Texas Rangers. Presented by Discover Puerto Rico and produced by 21 Events, the event honors Puerto Rico's contributions to baseball while celebrating the Island's culture and traditions.
Since its debut in 2023, the series has grown into a signature national program recognizing Puerto Rican players and introducing fans to the spirit and experiences of Puerto Rico. The Texas celebration will feature an on-field tribute honoring former Puerto Rican Rangers legend Rubén Sierra, a ceremonial first pitch by Jorge L. Pérez, CEO of Discover Puerto Rico, and various fan engagement activities highlighting Puerto Rico's impact on the game.
"Baseball has always been woven into Puerto Rico's identity, and our players have left an incredible mark on the game for generations," Pérez said. "Honoring someone like Rubén Sierra is about recognizing not only an outstanding career, but also the passion, talent, and pride that Puerto Rican players have brought to baseball throughout our history."
Ralph Paniagua, Managing Director of 21 Events, added, "Rubén Sierra represents an era of Puerto Rican baseball that inspired countless young players both on the Island and throughout the United States. Recognizing legends like Rubén is exactly what Puerto Rico's Day at the Ballpark was created to do."
The series continues to expand the program's mission of honoring Puerto Rico's baseball legacy while promoting the Island as a premier destination for culture, sports, and travel. Following the Texas event, celebrations will be held in Colorado, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia.
