The Buffalo Bisons have partnered with Kate Wedge, wife of Cleveland Indians Manger Eric Wedge, to host a "Mystery Ball" Fundraiser, presented by WGRZ, at Dunn Tire Park on Friday, July 11 during the team's game against the Louisville Bats (7:35 p.m.). For only $20, fans in attendance have the opportunity to purchase a gift-wrapped mystery ball (limit 10 baseballs per transaction). There are over 500 baseballs available and each has been autographed by a member of Buffalo Bisons, Cleveland Indians, Buffalo Sabres, Buffalo Bills or select members of the sports world. Ticketed fans attending the July 11 game can purchase Mystery Ball tickets at the Washington St., Swan St. and Seneca St. Gates of Dunn Tire Park once they officially open at 6:30 p.m. (all major credit cards and cash accepted). The Mystery Ball ticket redemption and Silent Auction will take place just inside the Washington St. Gate in the main concourse. Proceeds from the event will benefit Child and Family Services' Haven House, a shelter for victims of domestic violence. Since 1979, Haven House has provided safe, confidential services and housing for women and their children who have been victims of abuse.
