Aviators will continue to play some games as Reyes de Plata

The Aviators this season will continue the tradition of playing games as Reyes de Plata, Minor League Baseball announced Monday.

The Aviators will be one of 72 minor league teams that will play under a different Hispanic nickname. As the then-51s, the Reyes de Plata — or Silver Kings — were one of the first dozen franchises to use the Hispanic persona two seasons ago.

This season the Aviators will play 13 games as the Silver Kings, with seven at home (May 7, May 21, June 4, July 2, July 23, July 30 and Aug. 20).
