Frank Joseph Offermann, Sr (1876 - 1935) - Find A Grave Memorial

September 17, 1960. The Baseball era at the corner of Michigan and E. Ferry ends as the Bisons close out the season with a playoff loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, 5-3 at Offermann Stadium. The Bisons move down Masten Ave. to the Rockpile for the '61 season. By the time the decade ends the team is close to death and in June of 1970 the Bisons are moved to Winnipeg by the parent Expos. It will be over 8 years later that the team triumphantly returns, this time to the AA Eastern League.

The Offermann Stadium Exhibit is now open at Coca Cola Field during Bison games. Stop by for a trip down memory lane.
