The South Buffalo-native joined the Herd as a broadcaster in 2010 after spending three seasons with the Batavia Muckdogs, the short season Single-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. His three-year stint in the New York-Penn League included the team's first league championship in 45 years.

During the off-season Pat works for WGR Sports Radio 550 as part of the Sabres Radio Network. His various roles have included reporter, game host, and producer since joining the radio station in 2006. In 2009, WGR was recognized by the National Association of Broadcasters with the Marconi Award for Sports Radio Station of the year.

Malacaro began working for the Bisons as a bat boy from 1999-2002. He attended the Newhouse School at Syracuse University, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Broadcast Journalism in 2005.

Pat was a radio intern for the Bisons during the 2004 and 2005 seasons, which included a Governors' Cup Championship in 2004. He was also a radio host for WERW-AM and a member of the sports talk show staff for WAER-FM during his time at Syracuse University.

He currently resides in South Buffalo.

McGuire first covered the Herd with International Cable in 1980 and worked alongside Pete Weber on the Cable Sports Network from 1983-84. He also covered games for WKBW-TV from 1986-87. During the 1988-90 seasons, Duke filled in for radio broadcasts on WGR55 before joining the Empire Sports Network in 1991. He served as public address announcer for the Bisons from 1981-1995. Aside from his broadcasting duties, he has been involved with the Bisons youth baseball program for nearly three decades.
