by Jeff Wozer, Buffalo Sports Page Humorist

The Buffalo Bisons announced that for a June series with Rochester, the team will play as the “Buffalo Wings” while the Red Wings will become the “Rochester Plates.”  Honoring the two cities signature foods has created a buzz and a boost in souvenir sales.  But as sports humorist Jeff Wozer has found out, there will be other changes for the series at Coca-Cola Field.

• First 500 fans receive a quart of generic blue cheese dressing.

• Players will wear jerseys made from recycled Bev Naps.

• Official team name: Duffalo Wings.

• In the event of a rain delay the infield will be covered with aluminum foil.

• Chick-fil-A’s eat-more-chicken cow will throw out the first pitch.

• Seventh inning stretch replaced with seventh inning floss.

• Celebrity chef Rachael Ray will serve as the team’s third base coach.

• Before the game, in centerfield, Wing King Drew Cerza will box Charlie the Butcher.

• Fans will be asked to choose a food name for the Buffalo Bills to use in the upcoming season, picking between the Condiment Filled Paula’s Donuts or the Beer Battered Sponge Candies.

• Game will be aired live on Yelp.com.
