As part of the festivities, fans will have the chance to view the American League Championship Trophy, which will be on display at the ballpark and available for fans to take free photos with courtesy of Cumulus Broadcasting throughout the night. WSFA-12 also presents Rays' mascot Raymond, who will be on hand to entertain fans along with Big Mo during the celebration.
"Our fans have witnessed the current stars of the Rays as they were grooming for those roles here in Montgomery," said Biscuits' General Manager Greg Rauch. "We know that the American League Championship belongs in no small part to our great fans and we are thrilled to be able to bring the American League Championship Trophy to them."

The Biscuits will air video tributes to the relationship between the Biscuits and the Rays throughout the night along with highlights from the Rays Cinderella run to the American League Pennant in 2008.
"This community fully embraced the Rays' improbable run last year, and all of us have been swept up in Rays-mania," added Rauch. "It's going to be a lot of fun to get all of our Rays gear on and relive those memories and celebrate the phenomenal relationship we have fostered."
