Montgomery Biscuits News Release
MONTGOMERY, AL - The Montgomery Biscuits are extremely pleased to usher in Biscuits Reading Month, which will be celebrated throughout the entire month of July. Biscuits Reading Month will include three visits to local libraries by Biscuits' players and mascot Big Mo.
During each visit, two Biscuits' players will read baseball-themed books to children, instilling the message that reading plays an integral part in the development of an education both in baseball and beyond. Big Mo will accompany the players to each library visit, and all three will be available for autographs and pictures following the reading.
