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

Its been a long time since our last blog. New year means new post and while we aren't always happy to see the old year end its nice to have a fresh start. This year I hope to spend some time covering the Biscuits and maybe expand into a new area - we have been invited to check out Alabama State University's baseball club.
So it looks like the blog is back in bizness, tho with less info for plagiarists to rifle. HMU if you are interested in learning more about Montgomery baseball and its long history, I am available for speaking engagements and consultation.

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

Your Montgomery Biscuits return to Riverwalk Stadium for the new season ready to take on the freshly re-minted Southern League, facing the Smokies in the home opening series.
Its tough to get into baseball after labor issues and money politics have put it in such a bad light. MLB taking over the minors means fans are putting more money in MLB owners pockets while getting less and less from teams between the chalk.
Locally speaking, as a fan its been painful to watch as season after season the Montgomery roster has been used as a feeder, sending players to affiliate team ..read more

The Biscuits return to the postseason for the sixth time in six seasons still seeking the elusive pennant. The last time a Montgomery team won the league flag was 2007, a distant memory even to longtime fans. Can this be the team that brings home the ring?

THESE GUYS ARE TOUGH BISCUITS
This Biscuits club is a little different than the other teams we have sent to the postseason and faced a different set of challenges over the summer. Playing through issues like Covid, some terrible umpiring, the weather, c ..read more

The Biscuits come home on Tuesday to a matchup with the Mz Braves in a possible playoff preview. While the Braves are sitting atop the division standings, the Montgomery winning percentage would have the two teams facing off in the postseason - should they both be in the same spot they are now at the conclusion of regulation play.
Gomez and Hulsizer get up for the game!
That the Biscuits have slipped a little in the overall winning percentage is of some concern to fans, who note that the rival Slagtown Barons are sneaking up and have ten games left against Montgomery in the f ..read more

The Biscuits faced the Smokies in a seven game-six day Grape Jelly series last week that included two lengthy rain delays, a pile of hit batsmen, an makeup game from an early season rain-out, roster changes, a doubleheader, promo giveaways, schedule changes, the first team AMA and plenty of fun baseball.

Taking five of the seven contests and solid play over the past few weeks have put the Skitz in line for possible playoff contention. It would be the sixth straight postseason ticket for Montgomery, who has been an ..read more

*BY REQUEST
Reader input is a glorious thing. When someone mentions something that they would like to see, its great to be able to fulfill that request. So, to that end, let me discuss...
My Defensive Ability.
"It looked like the ball hit stone" said one Biscuits player.
Haha yeah, I have made a pair of errors this year and some have poked fun at me about it. Obviously they weren't paying attention when I did make the grab on a well struck foul, but for whatever reason a "well placed source" requested a scouting report which I am happy to make public.
What I try to do well is self pres ..read more

Here were are at the start of August and these Biscuits are hot! Again? Yes, again! This club simply refuses to lose and when the weather heats up so does Montgomery's bats.
When the first Montgomery homestand ended fans were concerned this club had an uphill climb but the team we see now is a much different squad than arrived on opening day. This Biscuits team has gotten a lift from the presence of Niko Hulsizer and Reuben Cardenas, whose big bats have been contagious to the other Montgomery hitters.
Catching the hitting bug are guys like Chris Betts, Joey Roach and Jim Haley, all o ..read more

Been a slow year for the blog in that I haven't had a lot of time to write! Lots of photography at the park and of course the research takes a bit of a back seat when the Biscuits play well, so less time to fill out the blog posts.
The team has really turned itself around from where they were the first few weeks of the year. Fans are happy to welcome the slugging bats of Niko Hulsizer and Reuben Cardenas to the heart of the hometown lineup.
