USA: Beijing Bound
And they’re off… USA Baseball finished tuning up for their trip to the Olympics on Monday after taking 3-of-4 against Canada’s national team. Bisons’ fans will notice the name Jeff Stevens from this year’s squad Buffalo team, Mike Koplove from the 2007 team and a few others that have had travels through the International League on the USA Baseball roster.
A great read: The next time you’re at Dunn Tire Park, get the latest edition of “HerdBall” and read the Jeff Stevens feature article starting on page 37 by Blake Arlington. Pretty cool highlights from this season and the accolades that make him qualified to wear the Red, White and Blue.

The Bisons will raise an Olympic flag at Dunn Tire Park on Thursday to recognize Stevens and all the American athletes overseas during the games.
The latest edition of “HerdBall” also has a tribute to Mayor Jimmy Griffin and Buffalo native Tim Russert. For a quick chuckle, read through “Quick Hits” with Jason Cooper. He talks about it all – From coffee to tattoos, it’s a wide spectrum of insight into one of the best in the Modern Era with the Herd.
