The First Pitch is a 2012 bronze statue of James D. Griffin, by William Koch.
It is located at Swan Street and Washington Street, outside Sahlen Field in Buffalo. Griffin, the former Mayor of Buffalo, was instrumental in getting Sahlen Field built and bringing the Buffalo Bisons franchise to the city while he was in office. Following his death in 2008, Griffin was posthumously honored by the Buffalo Common Council after they voted to change Sahlen Field's address to One James D. Griffin Plaza. T
