They bring the groceries. I may honstly say I full well know what a Montgomery Biscuit is but what in the dickens is a Devil Ray? Sitting serenely and calmly in the Heart Of Dixie you will find Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium perched on the bank at Montgomery,Alabama, just a few miles south of where the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers converge shake hands and becomes the Alabama River.

City Landmarks and Tourist Items:
Could there be anything more pleasant than to sit in a new baseball stadium forged from a historic railroad station? As you look out of the stadium to the south you see a beautiful city with all the trappings of the New South and the Cradle of the Old Confederacy.
Here in Montgomery is the home of the first Capitol of the Confederate States Of America where Jefferson Davis presided as it First President. Montgomery is now the State Capitol of Alabama and as you sit in the stdium you are only a stone throw away from the many gleaming white marble buildings of the state government.
About four blocks to the southeast is famous Dexter Avenue which leads straight into the Capitol Building. Dexter Avenue has become known worldwide as the location of the Church which was pastored by Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King is hailed as the guiding light and force for leading the non-violet Civil Rights Movement of the South. The City of Montgomery is also known throughout the civilized world as the place where Rosa Parks a black lady refused to give up her seat on a bus which up until that time was a segregated part of society.
Rosa Parks along with Martin Luther King are credited with being the prime movers and shakers in the Civil Rights struggle. Rosa Parks action sparked the will of all the black citizens of Montgomery to Boycott the bus and public tranportation of Montgomery, Alabama therby breaking the hard core segregation of the Alabama and the Deep South. This is now Montgomery Biscuits country. All around this part of the south you will find good sorghum and ribbon cane stalks in full tassle ready for cutting and squeezing to make that good ole syrup. YUm YUm, Biscuits and syrup, a little butter and Southern League baseball. Look to the North and the Northeast. You now are viewing the headwaters of the Alabama river and the earlier home of our native Americans the nations of the Creek and Choctaw Indians who proudly hunted these lands and enriched their tribal living. Modern day living in the fast lane enjoying Southern League Baseball. Joinng the Montgomery Biscuits for this 2007 year is an up and coming new star for baseball. Keep your eye on the young shortstop "Reid Brignac." Reid has an arm like a cannon and ranges far and wide at that middle field position of shortstop scooping grounders like a vacuum with reflexes as quick as a tiger. Those reflexes come from being a Bengal Tiger at LSU.
