  Montgomery Biscuits - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The franchise joined the Southern League in 1973 as the Orlando Twins, a minor-league affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, which held spring training in Orlando, Florida at the time.
Despite the fact that the team played in a state-of-the-art stadium that was built in 1997 and used during spring training by the Atlanta Braves, attendance did not meet expectations; after trailing the Southern League in attendance in multiple years, the Rays' owners announced the team would move to Montgomery in 2004.
While in Orlando, the franchise won three Southern League championships: in 1981 (as the Twins), 1991 (as the Sun Rays), and 1999 (as the Rays).

 Orlando Weekly - Features Story - Merchants of greed
Vince Naimoli, owner of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and the Orlando Rays, was in for the minor league season opener.
What the Rays and Orlando need is a new, state-of-the- art minor league ball park, a la Disney World no doubt.He quickly announced that he and the Rays were not in the stadium-building business, and that the people of Orlando, who seem so willing to subsidize the Devos family, should do the same for him.
Are there no standards anymore?The economic significance of the Rays to Orlando is somewhere in the same category as the Moscow Circus, with or without the bears.

Invited to major-league training camp because of a sterling season he had last year with the Durham Bulls, the Devil Rays’ Triple-A minor-league affiliate, Eiland is among a legion of "arms" that crowd the team’s preseason roster.
If the Devil Rays cut him, he’ll join more than 5,000 players who grind away in the minor leagues in a web of teams and leagues -- the Orlando Rays, Charleston Riverdogs and Hudson Valley Renegades are among those that supply the Devil Rays -- that serve as a proving ground for Major League Baseball.

 Rays: Never too late as closer gets call to Orlando
Rust, the Rays organization's new closer extraordinaire, spent most of spring training working out with the Orlando Rays.
He pitched for the O-Rays, had his mind set on playing at the O-Rays' spacious stadium at Disney and was ready for his first Double-A appearance since being signed as a free agent in June 2000.
In Orlando, where he joins Nathan Ruhl (second in the organization with 17 saves), Rust said he hopes to continue to build upon the formula that has turned him into one of the most dominating closers in the minors.

 DRays Bay :: A Tampa Bay Devil Rays Blog
The Rays defeated Texas 7-3 today, to officially clinch the series from the struggling Rangers, whom they had not defeated in five prior meetings this season.
We as Rays fans needed this, a late season glimmer of hope to make the season interesting again, to give us an excuse to avoid watching the horror that is preseason football, and for me, to peel off the depression from losing a spring training team.
The Rays may tank it for the rest of the year, as you might expect for a team depleted by injuries, trades, and poor play from people that were to be counted on.

 MINOR LEAGUE GAME:
Birmingham Barons vs. Orlando Rays
And, the luxury suites and banquet areas above the seats were packed with church groups (more than 50 were supposedly in attendance) who kept dry while cheering wildly for their local heroes.
Bloop singles were stretch into doubles, stolen bases were taken at every possible opportunity, and players were not afraid to slide in the wet dirt or through the soggy outfield to attempt a play.
After a three run double for the Barons, the Rays' pitcher plunked the next batter on the shoulder -- to let him know things would be different from that point on -- only to provoke what could have become a bench clearing brawl.
