Rochester, NY is known as the Flower City. It’s the third-largest city in New York State, with only NYC and Buffalo bigger. It’s also apparently known as the Flour City, which is weird, a little bit, right? Rochester is also known for having some of the highest total snowfall. That shouldn’t be a problem for the boys of summer... hopefully. But those early season games might be interesting (or really just cold). Frederick Douglass lived there between 1847-72.
Also, Rochester, the home of something called a garbage plate is now the Triple-A affiliate of your Washington Nationals. Read all about the news below. Go read your links...

"The Red Wings should give the Nats some added convenience they didn't have with Fresno last two years."
I’m proud I secured a commitment from the @Nationals to ensure new Major League affiliate for Rochester Red Wings to keep Red Wings ‘safe at home’.
There’s no doubt @RocRedWings will keep knocking it out of the park for fans throughout the Rochester Finger Lakes region.
