(This entry isn’t 100 percent about uniforms, though the team in question is one of the cooler nicknamed teams in professional sports. If any of this offends you, I’m sure there’s something else going on around the internet that will suit your fancy.)
The AP photo caption: “Pitcher David Price opens for the Montgomery Biscuits during their game Tuesday, July 1, 2008, at Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery, Ala. The No. 1 draft pick in the 2007 baseball draft, Price, is creating a lot of excitement in the Double-A Southern League.”
Hmm … Price opens for the Biscuits? Is that like how I saw Brian May open for Guns n’ Roses during the Use Your Illusion Tour in 1992? If that’s the case, I can only imagine how exciting the Biscuits themselves are. Remember, “Price is creating a lot of excitement in the Double-A Southern League.”
You know what else creates excitement in the Double-A Southern League? Thirsty Thursdays, where dogs and beers are a dollar. Temper your enthusiasm. — Bryan
I got my tickets for tonights Biscuits game. I was hoping Price would be pitching tonight but now I just have to hope that Rocco Baldelli is playing.
Don’t bash Dollar Dog Nights. It gives us gems like this:

And to bring it back to the uniforms, this is what happens at dollar dog night – a guy in an O’s hat holds down a Mets fan while a Phils fan in a green jersey pummels him.

There really are no drawing cards in the minor leagues. Now if a major leaguer is rehabbing, that can bring out the big crowds.
am i missing the punch line? i don’t get the whole article except that biscuits is a cool name. what am i missing?
Was looking through late posts from last night and as was scanning, a sentence jumped out.
“Orange pants a big plus.”
I started thinking…Okay now, where other than, oh, say, a Clown site does that sentence make any sense at all?

Speaking of minor league team names. I remember when the Colt .45s changed to Astros, one columnist wondered if the .45s farm team known as the Colt .22s would change its name to the “Half-Astros.”
Hmmm…wonder which minor league teams have the longest run with their nickname?
Buffalo Bisons, Rochester Red Wings and Durham Bulls first come to mind.
I’m sure there are others. Take it…anyone.

The link have used that nickname since their inception in 1895 as the Little Rock Travelers, changing their name to include the entire state in 1957. The Travs now play in North Little Rock, since the opening of link last season.
Has Memphis had any seasons when they weren’t Chicks?

The line from the article which states that Price is “opening” for the Biscuits. Makes him sound like the warm-up act.
(The photo’s caption is what says that actually.)

The Toldeo Mud Hens have had their nickname since 1902, with the exception of a couple of interruptions in the teens and 50s-60s.
Hey, look, Gene Autry in his first starring film, a serial called THE PHANTOM EMPIRE.
And he’s wearing, I think, a Pirates’ red vest…or something close to it.

[quote comment=”280776″]Has Memphis had any seasons when they weren’t Chicks?[/quote]
Yeah. More often than not there wasn’t a Chicks team.
The past 10 years they have been the Redbirds.
From 1960 – 1967 there wasn’t any team in Memphis. From 1968 – 1976 they were called the Memphis Blues.
So basically in the past 50 season there was a team called the Chicks for only 19 of them.

The Durham Bulls nickname has been around since 1913, but the “franchise” has gone under many name changes since. Notably:
Durham Tobacconists (1902)
Raleigh-Durham Mets (1968)
Raleigh-Durham Phillies (1969)
Raleigh-Durham Triangles (1970-71)
Also, the franchise as you knew it in the movie Bull Durham was actually moved and renamed the Danville 97s, (which has since moved and been renamed the Myrtle Beach Pelicans) so a new AAA franchise could be started in Durham using the same name.
——
Chattanooga Lookouts of the Southern League (AA) have had the same nickname since 1885
Birmingham Barons of the Southern League (AA) have had the same nickname since 1886
Toledo Mud Hens of the International League (AAA) have been using the name since 1902, but there have been times throughout its history where it was renamed.
Syracuse Chiefs of the International League (AAA) have been using the name since 1936, but from 1997-2006 they were known as the SkyChiefs
Indianapolis Indians of the International League (AAA) have been using the nickname since 1902
Rochester Red Wings of the International League (AAA) have been using the nickname since 1929
Portland Beavers of the Pacific Coast League (AAA) have been using the nickname off and on since 1906
Stockton Ports of the California League (A) have been using their nickname since 1946
Lynchburg Hillcats of the Carolina League (A) have been using their nickname since 1886
Eugene Emeralds of the Northwest League (A) have retained their nickname since 1955
And that pretty much covers it all

Interestingly, the best dressed person on the field was the Brewers’ bat boy. He had snug fitting pants and high socks. The NOB was BAT BOY, but what was weird was that his jersey was #99. I have seen “BB” or the current year (ie, 08 for this season) lots of times, but never this (well, not since 1999, I suppose). Any Wisconsinites with any insight?

As much as I dislike the Devils this is one reason to…well…give them a little credit.
Also, I don’t recall the Canadiens using an alternate jersey, other than a throwback type.
And I really dislike them.

Neither sucks. Well, now Guns n’ Roses sucks, but they didn’t in the early 1990s. Brian May was quite good, and if David Price is generating that kind of excitement opening for the Biscuits, then the Biscuits must be AWESOME. Just like Guns n’ Roses was for about an 18-month span from 1991-92.

I’m personally more in favor of the “Outlaws” nickname that the article suggests was one of the main options.
Not only would it be delicious irony, given the fact that they had to reach a court settlement to move the team…but it would also make me think of the USFL and the old Oklahoma (later Arizona) Outlaws. We need more latent references to the USFL. :)
So the whole idea of OKC basketball came to fruition when Hurricane Katrina came and moved the Hornets out of New Orleans, right?

The Brimingham Barons had on their new Red alt tops all with pajama pants on. It’s too bad the Biscuits lost in 10.
Uh, dude, Guns ‘n Roses was “AWESOME” longer than the period of “91-92.”
Frankly, they blitzed the scene in ’87 with Welcome to the Jungle. From that point, it was on … at least up until about ’93.

I expected a Bob Barker reference there, Bryan…or at least a Drew Carey comment. But you my friend, you threw a Jesse (Terry Gordy, Jr.) and Festus WWE SmackDown! theme music comment out of left field.
I think the point Bryan was trying to make was that an up and coming minor league player should not be the draw. What he failed to realize is that Price put up these stats his last year at Vandy (11-1 2.63 ERA 194 K’s in 133.1 innings pitched) and is expected to be with the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays before the end of the season. A Lefty with mid to upper 90’s heat and control? That’s something I’d pay $7 at a minor league park to see.
My point was about the pitcher’s name, and a pun on America’s most beloved (and longest running) game show, might I add.
And with that, subject closed.
