Team Focus #10 - Buffalo Bisons
The story here is that Harvey Weinstein found Jesus in prison and got out and raised money with a bunch of Hollywood execs and founded the team here. Why? Because he was a University of Buffalo graduate. Blue Jays were OK with the move and encouraged the Bisons to be in the AL East.
#1 Draft Picks
2019 - Casey Stengel/CF (40th) - huge rookie season hitting over 60 homers but lost rookie of the year to Chuck Klein. More than just a witty manager I guess (picture)
2020 - Pete Hotaling/CF (3rd) - controversial move, they took the upstate New York kid over Lou Gehrig
Manager - Rich Salvador - 50 year old man from Salt Lake City who sold baseball equipment but has held his job after bad 2nd season, yet in division race in 2021.
