With the Buffalo Bisons opening up their season Friday afternoon, thousands of fans made their way to Sahlen Field bracing the elements, to embrace a new season America's pastime here in the City of Good Neighbors.

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane threw out the game's first pitch. However, the Bisons unfortunately lost 12-9. But if you missed this game don't worry, they'll be at home all weekend.
