Plus, assessing Buffalo’s best and worst value picks from the NFL draft.
Buffalo Bills safety Micah Hyde might have retired after the end of the 2025 NFL season, but his annual charity softball game is as popular as ever, with Sunday’s fifth annual game and home run derby drawing nearly 16,000 fans to Sahlen Field in downtown Buffalo.
Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by recapping the fan-favorite event, which has raised more than $600,000 for Hyde’s IMagINe for Youth foundation, along with the foundations of six of his former teammates.
Recapping Micah Hyde’s annual charity softball game
Hyde’s charity softball game has become a highly desirable event in Western New York, and the rain didn’t stop fans from coming out. This year, the Bills’ offensive players, led by backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky’s two home runs, defeated the defense 12-6. In the home run derby portion of the day, defensive tackle DeWayne Carter beat out Keon Coleman and Trubisky for the crown.
Before a packed stadium filled with Bills Mafia, Hyde expressed his gratitude to everyone who came out and supported his softball game.
“Each and every year, I say the same things, how much of a blessing and honor it is to be throwing this game and just to be a part of this,” Hyde told the crowd.
