Home Of Buffalo Bisons Named Best Ballpark In New York

After weeks of voting, the home of the Buffalo Bisons was named one of the best minor league ballparks in America.

The USA Today 10Best poll for best minor league ballparks was announced, and Sahlen Field was named the 3rd best minor league ballpark in America and the best in New York State.

Sahlen Field is not only home to the Buffalo Bisons but to many other amazing events. One of the largest outdoor concerts in Western New York, The Toyota Taste of Country is held every June.

The National Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival is also returning to Sahlen Field this year. The massive festial, which was named the 3rd best Speciallty Food Festival in the country by USA Today, first started at Sahlen Field before moving to Highmark Stadium during the COVID-19 Pandemic. That is when the Toronto Blue Jays took over Sahlen Field, and professional baseball returned to Buffalo.

Do You Know These 4 Upstate New York Baseball Players? You Should, They Are All in the Hall of Fame!

Each summer thousands descend upon the hallowed baseball grounds of Cooperstown New York to witness in person the induction ceremonies of the sport's greatest legends. We know all of their names. But there are pages of trivial facts within the walls of the Hall of Fame. And they are fun.

This gallery looks at the four legendary baseball players who are enshrined in Cooperstown, but remain the only four players buried in Upstate New York (which we loosely refer to as the area up and out of Manhattan).. Do you recognize their names?

Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and other mythic baseball figures are buried in lower New York closer to New York City. These four are buried in our region and their graves are easily accessible to the public.

And their stories are great!
