GBSHOF - Buffalo Sports - A Bittersweet History

In conjunction with our event at the Buffalo History Museum on May 17, 2013, I prepared this video on Buffalo Sports history. Before you message me about what I left out, it was near impossible to put every important historical moment into an 8 minute video that fit the song's length. Please take it for what it is, enjoyment. The song used is "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve, all credit goes to them as well as the songs legal copyright owners Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and ABKCO. Many of the pictures come from the lens of Robert L. Smith the greatest photographer in Buffalo sports history.

Thank you John. And thank you for putting the Juice in there. It wouldn't have been complete without the Juice. I wanted this video to never end.
