BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — There's always a Buffalo connection, and that was certainly evident with the Los Angeles Dodgers winning the World Series, Tuesday night.
Three former Buffalo Bisons helped the Dodgers win the World Series for the first time since 1988.
Third baseman Justin Turner, manager Dave Roberts, and bullpen coach Josh Bard all played for the Bisons.
