Ensberg at Rickwood Classic We start with a bang as the Montgomery Biscuits stand a strong chance of getting a new manager for next season. Current skipper Mo Ensberg, along with current Durham Bulls manager Michael Johns, have both interviewed for the Tampa Rays open first base coaching position. While the Rays are yet to interview "outside candidates" its been the practice of the Tampa brass to promote from within the organization more often than not.  Even if Ensberg isn't selected as the Rays new 1B coach, he would likely be given a promotion to Durham if the gig falls to J ..read more

The Biscuits exited the playoffs in the first round. Rays also. Just like we teach em in Double-A!   Be sure to keep an eye out for next springs Baseball Conference in Montgomery, likely to happen in May. Some big names and interesting exhibits are planned, as well as tours of the ballparks around the city! In other news.. when can I find a player with a regular history to research?? I picked up a rare card with a Montgomery player - a 1910 T210 Red Border Barnett.  I knew nothing about the player himself, only that he was one of a handful of Montgomery players to appear in th ..read more

  Time for news! I keep my ear to the ground and have picked up a few items of interest for the casual as well as the die hard fanatics. BALLPARK WORK TO BEGIN Coming soon we will see construction at the ballpark as the new clubhouse is built in centerfield. Players will enter and leave the field by crossing to centerfield, which should prove interesting when a player or manager is ejected! I have not seen plans or renderings but am told that its a done deal.   NO NETS!! Also coming are the dreaded pole-to-pole nets, encasing fans in a cage and ending an era of enjoyable baseball b ..read more

  BISCUITS ROLLERCOASTER FIRST HALF WINDING DOWN The Montgomery roster is in its usual state of midseason flux, with occasional trouble in the bullpen and limited starting pitching. And of course theres plenty of catching and middle infield gloves to spare. A long streak of playing lousy has the Skitz on the ropes for the first half, no surprise to longtime Montgomery fans who have seen the team rally in the second half in about a half dozen recent campaigns. Greg Jones was promoted and the general consensus is that the Biscuits are a better team without him. Hitting around .220 for mos ..read more

The Buttery Buzzsaw, Montgomery Baseball History, Numbers Game

  A flaky, home baked, steaming hot buttery buzzsaw. That's what this Montgomery Biscuits club has been so far, chalking up victory after victory and able to dismantle Southern League opponents with five different weapons: hitting, pitching, defense, mojo and swagger. Mojo and swagger, not technically a metric for analytics but certainly part of the eye test and this Biscuits squad is leading the league in both. The Gumpskitz look to keep the good times rolling at home with a ten game homestand against Pensacola and Biloxi.  So far the Biscuits hurlers have combined for one no ..read more

Cooking Something Good!

  I'm cooking something. Of course we will all get to taste it when it's done, but first lets catch up.   I thought I had been traded to ASU but after a few attempts to get in touch with them I was met with noticeable apathy which abated my own ambition to pimp their team and ballpark. It's a shame as they have a long baseball history that I am not sure even they are aware of, with pedigree ties to the game that are unrecognized today. Perhaps they will yet decide to work together but I admit my desire to force myself on a scholastic athletic club is somewhat lacking.    ..read more

  NOBODY KNOWS.. People ask what I have been up to and its easier to answer "same old same old" than to explain how I am mapping each known location for organized baseball games in Montgomery pre-WW1.  Hopefully soon I will have some exciting news on the history front, stay tuned!   CANT CHANGE IF I WANTED TO I was hoping to revamp the blog but found that the blogspot tools have been adjusted so drastically since the page was first built that it requires a complete reset just to adjust the font color! So instead of choosing a lame template or going back to square one for des ..read more

HMU if you are interested in learning more about Montgomery baseball and its long history, I am available for speaking engagements and consultation.  In an almost ..read more

Biscuits Gotta Eat Too, News & Notes

Not much to report yet, the club is still getting its feet underneath itself. We are getting a good feel for what to expect this summer during this extended homestand. So far its been win some, lose some, and sometimes it rains. BERGIE As of this writing Erik Ostberg had two extra base hits in his two seasons with the Biscuits, both triples. One of three Biscuit catchers this season, Ostberg has good wheels and is just waiting to break out. Look for Ostberg to find the groove and do some yard work soon. I have it from a good source that a "Bergie Bomb" is a wonderous thing to behold. "Be ..read more
