Montgomery Biscuits
The Montgomery Biscuits is a quite strange name of a minor league baseball team. The team has a base in the town of Montgomery in the state of Alabama. The team has a Class AA affiliation with Tampa Bay Rays and plays in the Southern League. The team played its first season in the year of 2004 in Montgomery. The matches were conducted in Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium, having the capacity of over 7,000 people.

The franchise had joined the Southern League in 1973 with a name of Orlando Twins, which in turn was a minor-league affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. They had been playing for the Orlando Twins, being part of they used to play at Tinker Field in downtown Orlando, near the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium. The team had a change in the name and it was used to be called as Orlando Sun Rays in 1990.

Later in the year of 1993, when the Chicago Cubs became the team's new major-league affiliate, it was renamed to Orlando Cubs. Once again the team had a change in name 1997 and became the Orlando Rays. The following year, for one season only, the Seattle Mariners were the Rays' major-league affiliate.

The Orlando Rays' played their last season at Tinker Field in 1999. The Orlando Rays played in Kissimmee, Florida, at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort for the period of three year till 2003. The team used to play in a well equipped and designed stadium, which was built in 1997 and used during spring training by the Atlanta Braves. Unfortunately the attendance rate was not according to the expectations. It was the time when the Rays' owners announced the team would move to Montgomery in 2004. There were several of the team's players, who went on to the major-league level like Carl Crawford, Toby Hall, Jorge Cantu, Dewon Brazelton, Chad Gaudin, Matt Diaz and others.

The Biscuits had become the first ever team of Montgomery, to play since 1980, when the Montgomery Rebels played their final season in the Southern League. The Biscuits' owners selected the team's nickname from an entry in a name the team contest, due in part to the potential marketing and pun possibilities. During games, biscuits are shot from air cannon, into the stands.

The Biscuits had defeated the Huntsville Stars to win the team's first Southern League championship in Montgomery in the year of 2006. It was only three years after the formation of the team. Later, in the year of 2007, the Biscuits had again defeated the Huntsville Stars to win their second consecutive Southern League championship. They became the first team since the 1975-1977 Montgomery Rebels to win back-to-back championships. There are several Major League Baseball players who first played for the Biscuits like pitchers Scott Kazmir, James Shields, Jason Hammel, Andy Sonnanstine, and Juan Salas, catcher Shawn Riggans, infielders B.J. Upton and Evan Longoria, and outfielders Delmon Young and Joey Gathright.

The team has a very interesting mascot, which is Monty, an anthropomorphized buttermilk biscuit. Monty appears in the logo and on the hat. There was a mascot for the Orlando Rays as of a bear. There is no such detail being available for the origin of a logo of bear, but it is thought to predate the Devil Rays, as the club was previously controlled by the Cubs as well as the Twins.
