The Hub City Spartanburgers will honor Latino culture with the launch of the club’s latest alternate identity, Gusanos de Mezcal Del ‘Burg.
The name debuts as part of Minor League Baseball’s Copa de la Diversión initiative, a season-long series that celebrates Latino culture and community. According to the team, the name is inspired by the “smoky spirit of mezcal and the legendary gusano — the agave worm that’s become a symbol of strength, tradition, and flavor.”
Hub City will debut the Gusanos de Mezcal Del ‘Burg jersey on Cinco De Mayo. The Gusanos identity will reappear multiple times throughout the 2026 season. Each appearance will be accompanied by authentic Latin American live music, dancing, and family-friendly programming.
Ingles is the presenting sponsor of Hub City’s Copa de la Diversión games and Hispanic Heritage night.
