2011 Season Outlook

4

With lofty goals entering the season, the Auburn University at Montgomery baseball team has the pieces in place to make a run at the league title and into the postseason. In addition to being the five-year anniversary of their last appearance in the NAIA World Series, the Sena-tors also have not had a losing season since 1988, so expectations for the program remain high. “Guys like Justin Williams, Bruce Alter and Matt Arrighi are tough to re-place, but we feel like have quality players who can do the job in place,” Associate Head Coach Marty Lovrich said. “On the mound, I think we made significant improvement and now have options, depending on the situation, in a close game. We are excited to get started, but know that we will be tested early and will need to solidify our starting line up in the first couple weeks.” Senior Sam Judah paces the returners after winning the Senators’ of-fensive Triple Crown last season with a .428 batting average, nine home runs and 55 runs batted in. Judah, a first-team All-SSAC performer last season, also made 12 appearances on the mound for AUM last season, posting a 1-0 record and three saves, while limiting opposing hitters to just a .219 batting average in 17 2/3 innings. The Senators also return first-team all-conference performer and two-year starter Michael Dugan at catcher. Dugan was the lone AUM player

to play in all 51 games last season, posting a .320 batting average, with two home runs and 27 runs batted in, all while providing stability behind the plate.

The infield returns several experienced players, includ-ing potential starters at both positions on the right side. Senior Todd Cherry returns and will see time at first base, while junior Jorden Johnson is the top candidate to start at second base. Several newcomers have pushed for playing time around the horn, as juniors Logan Remson, Chezz McCann and Hunter Cross are all in contention

for considerable playing time. Seniors Chad Mansmann and Branden Kel-ley will also provide increased depth. Judah will patrol right field and will be joined by senior Will Sellers and junior newcomers Brian Wheeler and Rusty Todd in the outfield. Wheeler is the favorite to start in center field, while Todd and Sellers will battle for the starting nod in left. On the mound, the Senators return their top two arms in seniors Josh Smith and Kyle Mitchell. Smith posted team-highs with five wins and a 3.34 earned run average. Mitchell appeared in a team-leading 19 games, striking out 62 in 64 2/3 innings. Junior College All-American and South Carolina transfer Wes Cook, as well as juniors Cody Hall and Forrest Holif-ield will also compete for a spot in the Senators’ starting rotation. Junior Tyler Dent is penciled in as the closer for the team, while Judah can also provide a power arm out of the bullpen. “Obviously, our goal is to get to the postseason,” Lovrich added. “This year we have quality depth at every position and competition will only make our players better. It will certainly be fun to see how our guys respond to a tough schedule and the expectations that we are putting on them.”

THE INFIELD The big question mark heading into the season is on the left side of the infield, following the loss of Williams at shortstop and Alter at third base.

However, Lovrich feels confident with the pieces in place to fill the void at both positions. “We had to play some guys in unnatural positions last season,” Lovrich said. “We have some athletic guys who can play multiple positions, but overall, I think we have everyone in the position they are most comfort-able.” McCann and Cross are the favorites to take over for Williams and Alter based on their fall performance. “Chezz was an all-conference performer at LBW Community College and a guy we have known for a long time,” Lovrich said. “Right now, we are projecting him to be our everyday shortstop. We are counting on him offensively, defensively and in a leadership role.” Providing depth at shortstop is Kelley, who hit .345 in 16 games last season. “Hunter is our projected starter and is a prototypical third baseman,” Lovrich added. “He is a big guy with a lot of pop in his bat. He is not necessarily a home run hitter, but will hit more line drives.” Sophomore utility man Baxley Raines also gives the Senators an ad-ditional option. Raines, who joined the program from Alabama South-ern Community College in Monroeville, Ala., originally signed with Troy University out of high school and is able to play several different infield positions. At second base, Johnson returns following a sophomore campaign in which he was effective both at the plate and in the field. Johnson finished the 2010 season with a .331 batting average, 30 runs scored, seven sacrifice hits and a .426 on-base percentage. Mansmann, who joined the Senators following a stellar two-year career at Lurleen B. Wallace Community College in Andalusia, Ala., will also see action at second base. Senior Derek Webster will provide added depth at the position. “Jorden and Chad Mansmann will battle at second base, and that competition is great to have,” Lovrich said. “Jorden is a righty and Chad is a lefty, so both will see action depending on the situation. The starting nod at first base appears to be between Cherry and Rem-son. Cherry, who hit .377 in 48 games last season, appears to be the front runner, while Remson will also see significant action at first base. Remson joined the Senators from Calhoun Community College in Decatur, Ala., where he was a two-time second-team All-Northern League selection. “First base was a great battle in the fall,” Lovrich said. “Logan led our team in hits and RBIs this fall and Todd is probably our best defensive first baseman. Regardless of who is our starter, I expect both Logan and Todd’s bat to be in our line up a considerable amount of the time.” Junior Brittian Schultz will provide depth at the position.

THE CATCHERS For the past two seasons, Dugan, a junior all-conference performer, has done the majority of the catching for the Senators. Even with him

penciled in as the ev-eryday starter, the 2011 season offers options for AUM following the addition of junior catcher Andrew Walker to the roster.

“We are in much better shape than we were last year with really only hav-ing one catcher,” Lovrich said. “Michael Dugan played in 50 games last year, which is good and bad. He is a solid bat in our line up and a smart player, but the wear and tear brought on by catching started to catch

up with him late in the year.” Dugan finished his sophomore season with a .320 batting average, two home runs and 27 runs batted in, while committing just eight errors in 409 chances behind the plate. Dugan is also a leader for the Senators, both on the field and off. Walker, a transfer from Gadsden State Community College, provides the Senators an insurance policy and also allows the flexibility of giving Dugan a day off. “Andrew Walker had a really solid fall for us,” Lovrich said of the new-comer. “He will need to continue to improve offensively, but he is as good a ‘catch-and-throw’ guy as there is in our league.”

THE OUTFIELD Much like the infield, the Senators have a variety of options in the outfield, depending on the opposition. “Our outfield is going to be very unique this year,” Lovrich said. “We have a lot of guys who can play all three outfield positions, giving us plenty of flexibility, depending on the situation.” Judah, the top returner for the Senators in 2011, finished last season as the team leader in batting average (.428), home runs (9) and runs batted in (55). The Ozark, Ala., native will be asked to duplicate, if not exceed, those numbers again in 2011. “We need Sam to lead by example this season,” Lovrich said of the all-conference performer. “He had a strong junior season and we are hoping he can build on that and improve this year. He is a guy who will be in our line up every day and has the ability to carry our team.” Joining Judah in the outfield are talented newcomers Wheeler and Todd. Wheeler is penciled in as the starter in center field, while Todd has the ability to play all three outfield positions. “Brian and Rusty are both guys who have the ability to be really good players for us,” Lovrich added. “Brian glides in the outfield and can pro-vide some pop at the plate, and Rusty was one of the toughest hitters to get out during the fall. Both of these guys will see significant playing time this year for us.” Sellers will also provide the coaching staff with a fourth option, as he appeared in 40 games last season, hitting .299, with two home runs and 45 runs batted in. Fellow senior Charlie Lester will also factor into the equation after hitting .356 in 73 at bats, while adding a team-best 12 stolen bases before suffering a season-ending injury last season. “Charlie had an injury last season that really limited him,” Lovrich said. “If he is healthy, he will have an opportunity to win the left field spot and hit leadoff for us. Will returns following a very respectable year last season and will also factor into the rotation quite a bit.” Adding to the depth at the position are seniors Chris Clements and Matthew Ingram, both of which saw action last season for the Senators. Juniors Tyler Jordan and Colton Mathis will also compete for playing time.

THE PITCHERS The 2011 Senators pitching staff will be incredibly deep, as the roster features 20 players who could potentially see action on the hill. The depth is a premium for AUM, which lost five players who appeared in 10 or more games last season. “Even though we lost several experienced pitchers last season, we have a lot of good arms that we can throw out there in any given situa-tion,” Lovrich said of the pitching staff. “We have a nice balance of right handers and lefties, which will give us options.” The Senators return their top two arms from last season in Smith and Mitchell, both of which will be expected to maintain their strong play. “Kyle and Josh are our two most experienced pitchers coming back and have a good chance at earning a spot in the starting rotation,” Lovrich said. “Those two guys were as good as we threw out there last year and will be counted on again this year. Kyle was the guy at the end of the year that we wanted on the mound. Josh is a workhorse. He throws a lot of pitches and has good command. We will need him to pitch at the same level that he ended the 2010 season.” Other potential starters for AUM include Cook, Hall and Holifield.

“Wes is a guy we have known forever,” said Lovrich. “He was a guy who was a no-brainer to try to recruit. He had a tough semester at South Carolina and decided to transfer. He seems like the missing piece to our pitching staff. We knew we had a lot of good arms that could present some tough match ups, but we were lacking that true ace and I think Wes will fill that void. He has three pitches that he can control and locate.

I think he is going to make the pitchers around him even better.” “Cody and Forrest both had strong show-ings in the fall and will also compete for a spot in the starting rotation,” Lovrich added. “For-rest pitched in some big games at Shelton State and we are anticipat-ing he will be a starter for us, to.” He probably has the best arm on the team, but the best thing about him is when he is on the mound nothing

seems to bother him. Cody is tenacious and will bring a workman’s men-tality to the mound each time he takes the ball.” The bullpen features a balance of experience and newcomers, all of which are expected to contribute. Redshirt-freshman Chase Patterson is beginning his second season with the Senators, after he was granted a medical hardship last season following an injury. “Chase Patterson is a guy who can start for us and be effective out of the bullpen,” Lovrich said of the redshirt freshman. “He is a three-pitch guy who could do some great things before leaving AUM.” Also returning is senior Craig Miller, who is expected to be a work horse for AUM in 2011. “We dropped Craig’s arm slot a little and he responded with an out-standing fall,” added Lovrich. “He is a guy that I could see leading us in appearances at the end of the year.” Four talented newcomers will also factor into the mix coming out of the pen. “Nathan Brown is a control pitcher who works his fastball off his break-ing ball,” Lovrich continued. “He holds runners well and could potentially be a guy to setup our closer. Colton Mathis was a guy who played outfield every day, but did not pitch a lot in junior college. He has the best arm on the team and could factor in the closers discussion if he is able to keep making strides. Will Ruffin transferred from Central Alabama Com-munity College and was relied on pretty heavily there. He will be a situ-ational guy for us and I anticipate will make a lot of appearances. William Shell has a lot of movement on his pitches, especially on his breaking ball and sinker. He will see some action at the end of the games and will be a match-up guy for us this year.” Seniors Brent Amburn and Tanner Gordon, as well as junior Daniel Selph also give the Senators three left handers coming out of the pen. “Brent probably has as good of stuff as anyone on our team,” Lovrich said. “Tanner has good stuff and, when he pitches in the strike zone, is a guy who can throw a couple of effective innings for us. Daniel also has electric stuff and, if he is in the strike zone, he will pitch in a lot of ball games for us. The big key is maintaining his command.” Battling for the closer spot will be Judah and Dent. “In an ideal world, we would only use Sam in the ninth inning and only with a lead,” Lovrich said. “He is probably as good as any closer in our league and brings intensity each time he is on the mound. Tyler will audi-tion for the closer role, but could also be a potential setup man. He has the ability to pitch a couple days in a row and has a bulldog mentality on the mound.”

Junior Wes Cook


Q.V. Lowe is a winner. He always has been. With more than 40 years of baseball experience and more than 1,100 career victories, Lowe has been the only man AUM has ever known as the leader of its baseball program.In 1986, Lowe was chosen to build the AUM baseball program from scratch and has answered with a 923-496 record. In his time at AUM, the Senators have made three trips to the NAIA World Series and won six conference titles. Dur-ing his tenure, Lowe has coached 70 all-conference performers, 40 all-area or all-region selections and 31 NAIA All-Americans. In addition, Lowe has coached more than 20 players who have played in some type of professional baseball league. Lowe’s inaugural program struggled, as the youthful team finished with just an 8-27 mark. However, by his third season at the helm, the Senators improved to win nearly 60 percent of their games and have not had a losing season since. In 1990, Lowe helped the Senators to

the first NAIA World Series appearance in school history and an appearance in the National Championship game, after help-ing AUM to a 40-26 record. During their magical season, the Senators earned the District 27 and Area 5 Championships, while Lowe earned District, Area and NAIA Coach of the Year honors.

Two seasons later, the Senators were back in the World Series after Lowe guided the team to the first of four seasons in which AUM won 50 or more games. The Senators finished 1992 with a 50-18 overall record. AUM earned its second District and Area Championship, with Lowe being selected the Coach of the Year in each, as well as the Diamond National Coach of the Year.

During the next 13 seasons at AUM, the Senators won 40 or more games seven times and averaged nearly 42 wins during the stretch. However, Lowe and AUM were unable to return to the World Series. The Senators won five conference championships, while Lowe was named the Southern States Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 1995, Louisville Slugger Regional Coach of the Year in 1997 and 1998, and the Georgia-Alabama-Carolina Coach of the Year in 2000.

Then in 2006, the Senators won both the SSAC and the Region XIII Champion-ship and earned a third trip to the NAIA World Series, where they advanced to the national quarterfinals.

AUM Head Coach Q.V. Lowe lettered for two seasons at Auburn University, where he still

holds the career record for earned run average and winning percentage.


In 2008, Lowe earned his 1,000th career coaching victory, while in 2009, the Senators made an appear-ance in the NAIA National Tournament Opening Round. Lowe began playing base-ball as a youngster in Ocala, Fla., eventually becoming an all-state pitcher for Ocala High School. He compiled a three-year record of 23-3, including a perfect 10-0 senior campaign. After high school, he moved on to the junior col-lege ranks, where he posted an 18-5 mark at Gulf Coast Com-munity College in Panama City, Fla. He earned back-to-back All-Conference and All-America honors and helped lead his team to the Junior College World Series in 1965, his freshman season. Lowe then transferred to Auburn University, where he played for legendary Auburn Head Coach Paul Nix. He finished his two-year career with the Tigers with a 23-3 record, including a spar-kling 15-1 mark as a senior. During his final collegiate season, he helped Auburn to the 1967 NCAA College World Series and was named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year, as well as All-America honors. Lowe still has his name etched in the Auburn record book, holding the Tiger record for lowest career earned run average (1.69) and highest career winning percentage (.885). His 10 complete games during his senior season is tied for the best total in school annals, while he holds the season (5.40) and career (5.87) record for hits allowed per nine innings. Following his standout college career, Lowe was selected in the 19th round of the 1967 Amateur Draft by the Chicago Cubs. After eight seasons in the organization, he opted for a coaching career and landed his first position at Lurleen B. Wallace Junior College in Andalusia, Ala., in 1975. While at LBW, Lowe compiled a 179-101 record, before return-ing to professional baseball as a full-time coach with the Yankees in 1982. He moved to the Montreal Expos system in 1985, serv-ing as a minor league pitching instructor. Lowe was inducted into the Auburn University Tiger Walk Hall of Fame in 1998 and was inducted into the Alabama Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2005. In 2011, he became the first AUM head coach selected to the NAIA Hall of Fame, while he was also named the 2007 Alabama Baseball Coaches Association College Coach of the Year. Lowe and his wife, Ginger, reside in Wetumpka. He has one son, Josh, who played for the Senators for two seasons.

When Head Coach Q.V. Lowe was looking for an assistant coach in 1993, he did not have to look far. A former catcher and graduate assistant coach at AUM, Marty Lovrich is currently in his 19th season as the Associate Head Coach for the Senators and in his 21st season overall. “Marty has been such an important part of our program,” Lowe said. “He has a tremendous eye for talent, works incredibly hard and understands what makes a great college baseball player. He is a great friend and resource for us here at AUM.” His duties include helping to oversee the daily operation of the team, organizing and monitor-ing team study hall, and strength and conditioning. His other responsibilities on the AUM staff include hitting instruction, recruiting, administration, field maintenance and working with catchers. During his tenure with AUM, Lovrich has helped the Senators to the NAIA World Series three times and has coached 25 All-Americans. With Lovrich on its coaching staff, AUM has won nearly 62 percent of its games. Lovrich’s work at AUM has not gone unnoticed, as the Alabama Baseball Coaches Association named him the 2008 Assistant Coach of the Year among the state’s four-year institutions. Despite spending just one season as a player at Auburn Montgomery, Lovrich helped the Senators to their first winning season in the program’s history, while posting a .342 batting aver-age. Prior to transferring to AUM, Lovrich was a three-year starter at Jacksonville State University and a member of the Gamecocks’ 1988 NCAA Division II World Series team that advanced to the championship game. Lovrich attended Jacksonville High School in Jacksonville, Ala., where he led the Eagles to the state baseball semifinals as a senior. He was a three-time first-team all-state selection in baseball, a first-team all-state selection in football and an honorable mention all-state selection in basket-ball. His goals include helping AUM to an NAIA national championship, becoming a college head coach and teaching his son, Camden, the game of baseball. Lovrich received his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Auburn University at Montgomery in 1990 and completed work on a master’s de-gree in education in 1995. Lovrich is married to the former Holli Wells from Cottonwood, Ala. They are the proud parents of three children, Camden, Cate and Allie Grace.

The Southern States Athletic Conference and NAIA

39

The 2010-11 academic year marks the 11th year for Auburn Montgomery athletics competing as a member of the Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC). The newly expanded conference now showcases 16 member institu-tions located throughout the southeast, including the states of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee. The SSAC was established in 1949 as the Georgia Inter-collegiate Athletics Conference with six member schools, including Oglethorpe University, Berry College, Valdosta State University, North Georgia College and State Univer-sity, Piedmont College and Georgia Southern University. In 1980 the conference was renamed the Georgia Athletic Conference and remained so until 1988, when its expansion into Georgia’s bordering states brought the need to change its name to the Georgia-Alabama-Carolina Conference (GACC). In 2003, the official name was again changed to the Southern States Athletic Conference. The conference membership has worked for more than 60 years to maintain a level of competition, excellence and quality that appropriately represents its 16 member institu-tions. Since the conference’s inception and affiliation with the NAIA, 21 SSAC teams and 10 individuals have claimed na-tional titles, while 22 teams have finished national runners-up. Since the inception of its athletic program in 1975, Au-burn Montgomery has been a member of the National As-

sociation of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). In those 35 years, AUM has claimed 19 national championships, and six of the school’s eight varsity programs have appeared in a national championship game. The NAIA, headquartered in Olathe, Kan., is a national organization with nearly 300 institutional members and over 60,000 student-athletes across the United States and Canada. Throughout its history, the NAIA has provided strong leadership for all aspects of intercollegiate athletics. Since its introduction of the intercollegiate championship of basketball in 1937, the NAIA has maintained its elite standards while administering first-rate athletics programs. The NAIA has continuously affirmed its commitment to equality by becoming the first national organization to of-fer institutional postseason opportunities to black student-athletes in 1948, to allow institutional membership to historically black institutions in 1953, and on Aug. 1, 1980, to vote in favor of the establishment of athletics programs for women. Today, the NAIA strengthens its commitment to student-athletes and strives to enrich their college experience by supporting academic achievement and character develop-ment. The NAIA approaches sport and activity as an op-portunity to intentionally teach beyond the fundamentals through the philosophy of the NAIA Champions of Charac-ter program. By applying the five core values of respect, responsibility, integrity, servant leadership and sportsman-ship, the NAIA has the ability to maximize talent to the benefit of each individual.

HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITYAuburn University at Montgomery was established in 1967 by Act 403 of the Alabama Legislature. This action resulted from the request of the citizens of the Montgomery area to establish an additional degree-granting institution to serve Montgomery and the surrounding counties. The first classes were offered in September 1969. A 500-acre tract on the east side of Mont-gomery was purchased for the site of the new campus. Two architectural firms developed the master plan for the new cam-pus and designed the original buildings, which were occupied in the fall of 1971. A broad-based academic institution, AUM is organized into five schools: Business, Education, Liberal Arts, Nursing and Sciences, while the Air University Graduate Program and Division of Continuing Education offer additional educational opportunities.

In 1973 AUM was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as an operationally separate institution. In 1978, 1988, 1998 and 2008, accreditation was reaffirmed by the Southern Association.

MISSION STATEMENTAuburn Montgomery’s mission, as the metropolitan campus of Auburn University, a land-grant institution, is to foster and exemplify excellence in education through instruction, research and service. Auburn Montgomery blends the traditional views of the university as a community of scholars with the contempo-rary view of the university as an integral part of the surrounding community, state and region. AUM provides academic programs that are characteristic of the finest traditions of scholarship and consistent with the responsibility of the university to provide support for the functions of government, regional economic growth and cultural enrichment through the arts.

WHY CHOOSE AUBURN MONTGOMERY?Today’s economic crisis doesn’t have to cost you your col-lege education. This year alone, Auburn Montgomery offered students more than $4 million in Pell Grants and another $20 million in student loans. Couple that with challenging classes and small class sizes, and Auburn Montgomery can provide you with an excellent education at a price you can afford.

A STUDENT-TO-FACULTY RATIO OF 15:1At Auburn Montgomery you won’t spend your freshman year in classes filled with 300 of your peers. Our classes are deliber-ately kept small (an average of 20 students), giving you more personal attention and allowing your professors to get to know you.

BIG CAMPUS BENEFITS WITH A SMALL CAMPUS FEELWith programs of study in more than 90 areas, Auburn Mont-gomery’s courses run the gamut from accounting to sociology. We have sororities and fraternities for those who want to go Greek and numerous active clubs and organizations. Plus, your destination is never more than a five-minute walk on campus. FOUR-DAY WEEKSAt Auburn Montgomery, many students take classes just four days a week – Monday through Thursday – making it easier for them to work, get home on the weekends or even travel. But students also find AUM can accommodate just about any sched-ule since classes are offered days, nights, weekends and online. We even offer a growing number of mini-term classes, allowing students to progress more rapidly.

The City of Montgomery

44

Montgomery is at once a friendly southern city of grace and charm and a dynamic leader for economic growth and strength in the Southeast. Historic homes rest in peace-ful repose next to towering modern structures of glass and steel with perfect harmony. Lush city parks boasting world-class sports facilities are nestled just a short hop

from a network of roads, rails and runways that transport people and goods through-out the country. Montgomery really does have something for everyone. As Alabama’s Capital City, Montgomery is the seat of state government and the catalyst for decisions that are far-reaching, not just when the legislature is in session, but throughout the

year. People from throughout the state and even the na-tion come here to meet with lawmakers and present their idea or lobby their position, hoping to influence the direc-tion of progress in the coming years. In addition to its turnkey position in governmental affairs, Montgomery holds a unique position in concerns of military training, technology, defense and education as the location of Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base. Maxwell Air Force Base is the home of Air University, one of the military’s premiere educational facilities. Officers from all branches of the armed forces attend classes here. Gunter is the location of the 754th Electronics Systems Group (ELSG), which provides technical and customer service support as well as acquisition and program management oversight of over 160 Combat Support Information Tech-nology (IT) systems. The ELSG also manages the Air Force standard desktop environment, and serves as the USAF lead for software program management under the aus-pices of the Department of Defense Enterprise Software Initiative. Montgomery is a city of vast economic diversity, with state government, the military, regional government, wholesale and retail trade, agricultural support and indus-try providing a well-balanced economic environment. The city’s role as a regional trade center is firmly established, serving as a wholesaling and distribution gateway to the Southeast in addition to the 22-county central Alabama

area. In 2002, Montgomery got the good news that Hyun-dai would locate its first United States automobile manu-facturing facility in the Capital City. The construction of Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama’s 2-million-square-foot automotive manufacturing facility was completed in 2004. Hyundai’s first North American plant employs over 2,000 workers and produces the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Hyundai Sonata. Hyundai suppliers in the Montgomery metropolitan area have created more than $221 million in capital investment and 2,264 jobs. Area hospitals offer comprehensive medical services and facilities, as well as cutting-edge specialty services and practices. Montgomery residents have access to neonatal intensive care, open-heart surgical and cardiac treatment facilities and physicians, rehabilitative and therapeutic orthopedic medicine, cancer treatment centers and more. Additionally, there are many walk-in clinics that offer gen-eral medicine and private practice physician offices with services ranging from family practice to internal medicine and ophthalmology. Montgomery and surrounding area veterans also are served by the VA Medical Center.

Things to See and Do Montgomery offers a wealth of recreational and cultural activities for people of all ages and interests. The city has

been dubbed the “birthplace of Civil War and Civil Rights.” It was the first capital of the Confederacy, and the location from which the telegram was sent that started battle in the War Between the States. A star on the steps of the State Capitol building (which is on the Nation-al Register of Historic Places) marks the spot where Jefferson

Davis was sworn in as president of the Confederate States of America. Montgomery also is the location of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s pulpit, from which he preached the gospel of non-violent revolution in the fight for Civil Rights, and is the site of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which sparked the movement for equal rights throughout the nation. The Rosa Parks Library and Museum provides a glimpse into

this important event that shaped the destiny of a na-tion, along with its Children’s Annex, which provides a background on segregation through an interactive “time machine” exhibit. Visitors also should stop at the Civil Rights Memorial Center, located alongside the Civil Rights Memorial, de-signed by famed architect Maya Lin. The center, operated by the Southern Poverty Law Center, contains state-of-the-art exhibits and in-depth information about Civil Rights Movement martyrs, a 69-seat theater, a classroom for edu-cational activities and a section dedicated to contemporary social justice issues and the Wall of Tolerance. The city is home to the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, the fifth largest Shakespeare Festival in the world, which draws visitors from throughout the world. Also located in Blount Cultural Park is the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, which houses an extensive permanent collection, including Old Master prints by such artists as Rembrandt, Caneletto and Goya, and noted American artists John Singer Sargent and Edward Hopper. Additionally, there is world-class ballet, art education opportunities, a symphony orchestra and more. There also are many enjoyable family activities. The Montgomery Zoo boasts more than 700 animals from five different continents, including a brand new African el-ephant exhibit. People of all ages will be fascinated by a visit to Old Alabama Town, where they can see how early Alabamians lived and worked, or the Alabama Depart-ment of Archives and History, with its wealth of informa-tion. Children will be especially delighted by the archives’ “Grandma’s Attic” exhibit, which is full of hands-on activi-ties, costumes and games. Another fun treat is the unique

Alabama Cattle-men’s Associa-tion “Mooseum,” which provides a history of cow-boy culture and livestock produc-tion. Shopping is also a popular pastime. Mont-gomery has unique boutiques tucked away into historic districts like Old Cloverdale and the Mulberry District, as well as first-class shopping malls

and centers. Eastdale Mall boasts the area’s only indoor ice skating rink, in addition to a wide variety of shops and eateries. Festival Plaza offers specialty shops, Rave Motion Pictures theater, and Shall We Paint?, a paint-your-own pottery activity and shop. The Shoppes at EastChase is a “lifestyle center” with upscale retailers and restaurants. And there’s so much more. Montgomery has many shops and restaurants sure to suit any visitor’s whim.

Sports and Recreation In February 2003, Montgomerians were thrilled to learn that the AA baseball team owned by Orlando Rays Base-ball Inc., which is owned by the Major League Baseball team the Tampa Bay Rays, had been acquired to play ball in Montgomery. The team was dubbed the Montgomery Biscuits and a new $26 million baseball stadium opened

in Spring 2004 beside the Alabama River. The stadium is a key element in the city’s ongoing Riverfront development and downtown revitalization project, with downtown and riverfront investment now totaling more than $900 million. A riverwalk and new convention center and hotel, The Renaissance, have added more appeal to the downtown area. Additionally, the city’s Parks and Recreation Depart-ment operates many facilities located throughout the city, hosting such activities as golf, swimming, tennis, softball and other sports, plus artistic and creative endeavors, physical fitness classes, activities for those with physical or mental disabilities, and educational programs, including a planetarium. The city’s Cramton Bowl hosts high school and college football games, as well as special events, and Paterson Field provides facilities for high school and col-lege baseball games. Visitors to the River Region can also visit the nearby Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Prattville. The trail is rec-ognized as one of the finest golf experiences anywhere.
