Chihuahuas sweep fan's hearts for second season

[TexasTowelie]

The El Paso Chihuahuas swept into the desert and swiped hearts in the spring of 2014. And that continued into 2015 — with a flourish.

Game nights are forever the same. Men, women, children, familes and fans of all shapes and sizes, walk happily toward their beautiful new ball park, Southwest University Park, almost all clad in red Chihuahua shirts and/or Chihuahua caps. They come early and they stay late and their attendance has been a constant.

"The theme established in 2014 has been continued," said Alan Ledford, president of MountainStar Sports, the team's ownership group.

"Everything about it has exceeded our expectations. The fan support, the fan enthusiasm has been amazing. I've never seen a minor league baseball crowd as enthusiastic in its support ... and that has been backed up by the big league players who have been here. They stay late and they support the team until the final out."
