There is only one player in Bisons modern era history who won a division title as both a player and a manager with the Herd and that honor goes to the fan-favorite, Candaele. As an infielder, he spent three of his 18-year playing career in Buffalo and played in 270 games with a .265 average, 79 extra-base hits and 113 RBI. He was a 1996 American Association All-Star and helped the Herd to their first modern era league championship in 1997. Now, he's in his third season as Bisons manager, having already helped the team to a 2021 Division title, the same year he was named Triple-A East Co-Manager of the Year.

The Candaele Bobblehead Giveaway is just part of a fun-filled night at the ballpark. August 17th is also a 'Thirsty Thursday™' with great deals on Southern Tier craft beers and also wine all game long.
