Montgomery, AL

When I was in the Deep South last week, I was looking online for things to do. I would be driving near Montgomery, AL. I knew it was the site of the famous bus boycott, but wasn't sure if there was any other historical significance. So, I went to the ol' Wikipedia, where I learned that Montgomery has a minor league baseball team. Now, you don't expect minor league team names to sound as iconic as the Yankees, Reds, Giants, Dodgers, etc. But I grew up with the Prince William Cannons and the Roanoke Avalanche (Roanoke gets roughly 4 inches of snow per year). Not great names, but not bad either. However, they are great when compared to the Montgomery Biscuits. That's their team name. Their logo is a split biscuit with googly eyes, and a pat of butter that serves as a goofy tongue. Their hats feature a biscuit peeking around an "M." The catchphrase on their website is "A Recipe for Fun," however their site is missing the biscuit recipe that it should obviously have. At the bottom of the page, you can download a desktop wallpaper. It has three players on it, and says, "Biscuits Rising." I know you're thinking, "No, it doesn't say that." But yes it does. They should have a secondary motto: "Even when we suck at baseball, our puns are still a home run!"

If you're in Montgomery this Friday, I'll see at Biscuits Stadium for Family Faith Night! Bring your Bibles and your baseball mits!
