◇ Orix Buffaloes to hold "Potato Day supported by Calbee"

Orix Buffaloes "Potato Day" will be held on Sunday, July 26, and Thursday, August 6. This year's Potato Day will once again be held as "Potato Day supported by Calbee," with Calbee, Inc. serving as the special sponsor.

The team will sell “Potato Discount Tickets,” which offer a discount on game tickets when fans bring their own potatoes, and will hold a fan vote called “Ori Baron supported by Calbee” to select players themed after Calbee’s popular products.
