“The Butcher was more than just a bat boy, rather a major part of the overall experience that Bisons fans had when they attended games at War Memorial Stadium. The commitment and passion that he brought to every game made him as beloved as anyone else in a Bisons’ uniform. He and his contributions to the early success of Bisons baseball will forever be missed,” said Jonathan A. Dandes, President of Rich Baseball Operations. “The Butcher is and will forever be a part of the Buffalo Bisons history. Not only did he reach so many of us in the Bisons organization, but so many former managers and players recall to us how much he meant to the game here in Buffalo. All of us will miss him deeply,” said Mike Buczkowski, Vice President/General Manager of the Buffalo Bisons. The Buffalo Bisons organization sends its condolences to the entire Palmer family.]]>

Trump suffers first loss in hush money case minutes after entering courtroom
Judge Juan M. Merchan almost immediately rejected Donald Trump's request for recusal in his hush money trial.
On the first day of court on Monday, Merchan took on Trump's attorneys' motion that the judge recuse from the case. Trump reportedly watch "stone-faced" during the proceedings.
The motion argued that Merchan should recuse himself because his daughter worked for a Democratic consulting firm.
Merchan said Trump's attorneys' motion "does not reasonably or logically” explain why he should be recused.

"To say that these claims are attenuated is an understatement," Merchan said. "There is no basis for recusal."
With that, the judge denied the recusal motion, according to reports.
"Trump appears to be very attentive," CNN's Paula Reid noted.
"Our colleagues say he is looking straight ahead at a screen. Our colleagues also report that he's biting his bottom lip as the judge rejects his motion for recusal."
Trump is accused of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to an adult movie star after an alleged affair. He has denied all the allegations made against him.
