We didn't get video from the road games in Mobile - but we do know that the Pensacola fans have gotten an eyeful of the new gray shirts, as the Biscuits wear them nearly every day when away from home.

| Rube Geyer |
Pitcher Rube Geyer of Nashville three hits the Montgomery Senators.
Among the Senators is Sam Apperious - he will be the subject of a later blog post for his role in a collegiate series involving a team fielding a black player. But for now, he's just one of a team of Montgomery players who had a tough time hitting Nashville's Geyer on an April afternoon.
APRIL 18 1955

| Rebels pitcher Troy Herriage |
He also picked up the win in the opening game of the season. Herriage pitched well around four Mgm errors, stranding 11 macon runners as the Rebels get 15 hits to win, led by George Toepfer four-for-five
