The Buffalo Bisons have existed for as long as since 1879 as a major league club which switched to minor league baseball while retaining their status of the initial international league’s members. The baseball franchise moved to the IL, previously known as the by the name of Eastern League, when it shifted to Winnipeg, Manitoba. This move was a result of low attendance and stadium problems and so the Bisons became the Winnipeg/Peninsula Whips. However, the team was reborn at the end of the decade of seventies when its ownership interests bought the Eastern League’s Jersey City franchise of Double-A Class. This resulted in the team moving to the city as well.  

After performing outstandingly in six of the Eastern League’s seasons, the Buffalo Bisons came to be amongst the AAA ranks in around 1985. The team joined the American Association upon the transfer of the rights of the Wichita Aeros franchise to Buffalo. With the closure of the American Association near the end of the decade of nineties, the Buffalo Bisons were saved by the prestigious International League. In the meanwhile, its previous opposing teams from the American Association became part of the Pacific Coast League.

The team continued to give miraculous performances, turning around from going to being as much as ten games far from the first place to becoming division winners with a stupendous9.5 games. The Buffalo Bisons went on to win the first round of the playoffs with the Durham Bulls as their opponents and qualified for the competitive Governors' Cup Finals against the Richmond Braves. The franchise became proud winners of the North Division in 2005. The team played against the Indianapolis Indians for the beginning round and was victorious in the first two games.
