The Montgomery Biscuits,the minor-league baseballteam that plays its homegames at Riverwalk Stadium,earned its screwball nick-name in a contest.

The team started play in2004 and is a member of theDouble-A Southern League.

In 2003, the team’s ownershad a Name the Team contestand received about 2,500 en-tries. A local attorney enteredBiscuits based on his intra-mural softball team from lawschool.

The name received moreboos than cheers when it offi-cially was unveiled at JubileeCityFest. Since, fans havegrown attached to it.

The Biscuits reportedmore than $2.5 million in re-tail sales to the city in theirfirst five seasons. The cityowns Riverwalk Stadium,which it rents to the Biscuitsfor a share of any sales at the

stadium.In each of its first five sea-

sons, the Biscuits drew atleast 290,000 fans and rankedsecond in the SouthernLeague in attendance.

The team also has enjoyedon-the-field success.

The Biscuits won South-ern League championships in2006 and 2007. More thanthree dozen former Biscuitshave reached the majorleagues, including last year’sAmerican League Rookie ofthe Year, third baseman EvanLongoria.

Longoria and pitcher ScottKazmir also have played in

the major-league All-StarGame.

Kazmir pitched for the Bis-cuits in 2004. Longoria (2007)and outfielder Delmon Young(2005) won Southern Leaguemost valuable player awards.

The Tampa Bay Rays, whowon the American Leaguechampionship in 2008, areMontgomery’s major-leagueparent club.

The Durham Bulls, whogained fame in the movie“Bull Durham,” are TampaBay’s Triple-A affiliate. TheRays have full-season Class Ateams in Port Charlotte, Fla.,and Bowling Green, Ky.

Prattville’s history builton industrialist’s dream

The Wetumpka High School band performsduring a game.

In the early 1830s a New EnglandYankee named Daniel Pratt headedSouth, looking to make his fortune.He discovered the fall line of AutaugaCreek and used the waterpower tobuild the base of his industrial em-pire.

He founded the town that bears hisname in 1839. Pratt’s foundation was acotton gin manufacturing plant thatstill dominates the landscape of down-town today.

Continental Eagle Corp., whichtraces its roots back to Pratt, manu-factures gins and other equipmentused in cotton production. Along withthe gin, Pratt built textile mills, alumber mills and door and sash fac-tory in the city. He also donated landto be used for schools and churches.

Known as Alabama’s first industri-alist, Pratt expanded his influence tothe fledgling iron producing efforts inthe area that would become Birming-ham. There he built foundries and fur-naces.

Pratt City, just outside of Birming-ham, is named in his honor.

Prattville’s historic downtown areareflects Pratt’s New England roots.

In most older Southern cities thecourthouse square is the centerpieceof downtown. Prattville was builtaround the sprawling industrial com-plexes designed by Pratt, and the re-quired mill pond that impounded thewater used to power his factories andmills.

Sadly, Prattville lost a large part ofits early history on the night of Sept.10 and 11, 2002, when the GurneyBuilding, a closed textile mill, burned.The block long building, comprisingthree stories and a full basement wasdesigned by Pratt. It was a twin of thegin shop, which stands directly across

the Autauga Creek Dam.You would have to wonder if Pratt

would recognize his city now. Longgone are the days of Prattville beingthe sleepy, little farm town where ev-eryone knew everyone else. For thepast three decades Prattville and Au-tauga County have seen tremendousgrowth.

The growth rate has perenniallyplaced Autauga County in the Top 5list of the fastest-growing counties inthe state. Prattville has a populationof 35,000 and is seeing a boom in retailgrowth.

The city has added 1.3 millionsquare feet of store space in the pastthree years, with another 260,000square feet of development now underconstruction. The growth is takingplace in the eastern sector of the city.Where cotton fields and pastures oncestretched from horizon to horizon,there’s a new crop growing.

Big box giants like Target, BassPro Shops, Belk and J.C. Penny just toname a few, now call the city home.

But even with the expansion outeast, city leaders haven’t forgottendowntown.

A recently completed $1.2 millionrevitalization project in the historicbusiness district brought in periodlighting, new sidewalks and street-scape improvements.

An ongoing project is the construc-tion of a creekwalk, following thenorthern bank of Autauga Creek. Thewalk begins in the shadows of the ginshop, and plans are to take it downthe creek to Pratt Park.

So if Pratt came back today, hewould see a bigger city, but he stillwould be able to recognize the corner-stone he laid those many years ago.

The Montgomery Biscuits,the minor-league baseballteam that plays its homegames at Riverwalk Stadium,earned its screwball nick-name in a contest.

The team started play in2004 and is a member of theDouble-A Southern League.

In 2003, the team’s ownershad a Name the Team contestand received about 2,500 en-tries. A local attorney enteredBiscuits based on his intra-mural softball team from lawschool.

The name received moreboos than cheers when it offi-cially was unveiled at JubileeCityFest. Since, fans havegrown attached to it.

The Biscuits reportedmore than $2.5 million in re-tail sales to the city in theirfirst five seasons. The cityowns Riverwalk Stadium,which it rents to the Biscuitsfor a share of any sales at the

stadium.In each of its first five sea-

sons, the Biscuits drew atleast 290,000 fans and rankedsecond in the SouthernLeague in attendance.

The team also has enjoyedon-the-field success.

The Biscuits won South-ern League championships in2006 and 2007. More thanthree dozen former Biscuitshave reached the majorleagues, including last year’sAmerican League Rookie ofthe Year, third baseman EvanLongoria.

Longoria and pitcher ScottKazmir also have played in

the major-league All-StarGame.

Kazmir pitched for the Bis-cuits in 2004. Longoria (2007)and outfielder Delmon Young(2005) won Southern Leaguemost valuable player awards.

The Tampa Bay Rays, whowon the American Leaguechampionship in 2008, areMontgomery’s major-leagueparent club.

The Durham Bulls, whogained fame in the movie“Bull Durham,” are TampaBay’s Triple-A affiliate. TheRays have full-season Class Ateams in Port Charlotte, Fla.,and Bowling Green, Ky.

Prattville’s history builton industrialist’s dream

The Wetumpka High School band performsduring a game.

In the early 1830s a New EnglandYankee named Daniel Pratt headedSouth, looking to make his fortune.He discovered the fall line of AutaugaCreek and used the waterpower tobuild the base of his industrial em-pire.

He founded the town that bears hisname in 1839. Pratt’s foundation was acotton gin manufacturing plant thatstill dominates the landscape of down-town today.

Continental Eagle Corp., whichtraces its roots back to Pratt, manu-factures gins and other equipmentused in cotton production. Along withthe gin, Pratt built textile mills, alumber mills and door and sash fac-tory in the city. He also donated landto be used for schools and churches.

Known as Alabama’s first industri-alist, Pratt expanded his influence tothe fledgling iron producing efforts inthe area that would become Birming-ham. There he built foundries and fur-naces.

Pratt City, just outside of Birming-ham, is named in his honor.

Prattville’s historic downtown areareflects Pratt’s New England roots.

In most older Southern cities thecourthouse square is the centerpieceof downtown. Prattville was builtaround the sprawling industrial com-plexes designed by Pratt, and the re-quired mill pond that impounded thewater used to power his factories andmills.

Sadly, Prattville lost a large part ofits early history on the night of Sept.10 and 11, 2002, when the GurneyBuilding, a closed textile mill, burned.The block long building, comprisingthree stories and a full basement wasdesigned by Pratt. It was a twin of thegin shop, which stands directly across

the Autauga Creek Dam.You would have to wonder if Pratt

would recognize his city now. Longgone are the days of Prattville beingthe sleepy, little farm town where ev-eryone knew everyone else. For thepast three decades Prattville and Au-tauga County have seen tremendousgrowth.

The growth rate has perenniallyplaced Autauga County in the Top 5list of the fastest-growing counties inthe state. Prattville has a populationof 35,000 and is seeing a boom in retailgrowth.

The city has added 1.3 millionsquare feet of store space in the pastthree years, with another 260,000square feet of development now underconstruction. The growth is takingplace in the eastern sector of the city.Where cotton fields and pastures oncestretched from horizon to horizon,there’s a new crop growing.

Big box giants like Target, BassPro Shops, Belk and J.C. Penny just toname a few, now call the city home.

But even with the expansion outeast, city leaders haven’t forgottendowntown.

A recently completed $1.2 millionrevitalization project in the historicbusiness district brought in periodlighting, new sidewalks and street-scape improvements.

An ongoing project is the construc-tion of a creekwalk, following thenorthern bank of Autauga Creek. Thewalk begins in the shadows of the ginshop, and plans are to take it downthe creek to Pratt Park.

So if Pratt came back today, hewould see a bigger city, but he stillwould be able to recognize the corner-stone he laid those many years ago.
