'El Paso Chihuahuas Tickets'

'

Created in 2014, the El Paso Chihuahuas serve as the Triple-A affiliate for Major League Baseball's San Diego Padres. Since their inception six years ago, the Chihuahuas organization has been primarily dedicated to the fan experience, which is why they were awarded the Continued Excellence Award by

Ballpark Digest

. The Chihuahuas of El Paso were originally located in Tucson, Arizona. The name chihuahuas was selected through a fan-submission contest edging out other options, which included aardvarks, desert gators and buckaroos. In only their third season in El Paso, the Chihuahuas won the 2016 Pacific League Championship under former manager Rod Barajas who is now on the Padres MLB coaching staff. Barajas guided the team back to the league championship in 2017 where they came up just short. Unfortunately, the Chihuahuas missed the playoffs in 2019 but still put up the second most wins in franchise history.
