Buffalo Bisons News Release
The Buffalo Bisons will hold their 3rd Annual "Mystery Ball" Fundraiser at Coca-Cola Field on Saturday, August 7 during the team's game against the Columbus Clippers (7:05 p.m.).
For only $25, fans in attendance have the opportunity to purchase a gift-wrapped mystery ball (limit 4 baseballs per transaction). There are 500 baseballs available and each has been autographed by a member of Buffalo Bisons, Buffalo Sabres, Buffalo Bills, New York Mets, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Tampa Bay Rays, Cleveland Indians or select members of the sports world.
Ticketed fans attending the August 7 game can purchase Mystery Ball tickets at ALL GATES of Coca-Cola Field once they officially open at 6:00 p.m. (all major credit cards and cash accepted).
