El Paso Diablos News Release


El PASO- The El Paso Diablos have unveiled the new 2006 All Star logo for the American Association/ Can Am All Star game. The game, which will be held on July 18 at 7:05 PM, will be hosted by the Diablos at Cohen Stadium.

The logo was designed to represent the unique southwestern El Paso flavor using chili peppers to represent the star on the Franklin Mountains. Measuring 459 feet in length and 278 feet in width, the star was originally lit as an El Paso Christmas tradition in 1940. Since World War II the star has been lit every year and has taken on a special significance within the El Paso community. In 1980 the star remained lit for 444 days during the Iran hostage crisis and for over a year in 1990 in support of Ft. Bliss and all US troops during Operation Desert Storm. The star on the Franklin Mountains now remains lit the entire year.

This will be El Paso's first year to host the All Star game and the American Association's first year to hold an All Star game with the Can/Am League. The Diablos start the 2006 season on the road on May 11 against the Coastal Bend Aviators and open at home on May 15 at 7:05 PM. Season tickets are currently on sale at the Diablos front office. Please call 915.755.2000 for more information.
