Triple-A Fresno Grizzlies to play as 'Tacos' on Aug. 6
Minor-league baseball teams perpetually search for promotional events that perfectly meld the outlandish, nostalgic and fun. The Fresno Grizzlies, with the announcement that on Aug. 6 they're changing the team's name to the "Tacos," have come pretty darn close to the holy grail of promotions.

The Grizzlies (Houston Astros' Triple-A affiliate) are making a full name and uniform change in conjunction with the fifth annual Taco Truck Throwdown, where last year fans consumed 27,000 tacos at the festival.
Check out the Taco uniforms:

You're feeling hungry right now, aren't you? Yeah.
The GrizzlyTacos are selling hats, too, if you're interested. I don't care that the Fresno marketing folks have found a way to get me to pour money out of my wallet. It's just a great idea, and who doesn't want a taco hat?
The only thing missing, potentially? That's right: TACO CANNON!!!
