Season 2 of "Grass Routes" rolls on with its newest episode and, well, these biscuits are on the rise.
The travelogue heads to Montgomery, Ala., for its third episode of Season 2 that will feature the Double-A Montgomery Biscuits, affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays. It will air on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on MLB Network and fans can also watch at the top of this story, on MLB.com or on MLB.TV.
The Minor League Baseball docuseries, hosted by MLB Pipeline's Jonathan Mayo, celebrates the unique vibe of Minor League cities and spotlights how the local baseball teams are woven into the fabric of the community. The show features in-depth looks at local culture, food, arts, and fan experiences alongside interviews with top prospects and community leaders.
It's time to make the doughnuts on Sunday's episode as Mayo joins a trio of Rays prospects -- OF Homer Bush Jr. (TB No. 24), 2B Cooper Kinney and Biscuits SS Brayden Taylor -- for breakfast at local favorite Hero Doughnuts and Buns. After fueling up on the sweet treats, the gang does a deeper dive into the historical significance of the area with a moving Civil Rights Tour.
As night falls, a member of MLB Pipeline's Top 100 Prospects list meets up with Mayo to enjoy a Montgomery staple for dinner. Right-hander Brody Hopkins (TB No. 2/MLB No. 84) joins Mayo at the world-renowned Dreamland BBQ for some of the best mouth-watering barbeque that the South has to offer.
Viewers will also get to enjoy a morning stroll along Riverfront Park with Marlins southpaw Thomas White (MIA No. 1/MLB No. 14). Located on the banks of the Alabama River, Mayo and White explore the variety of attractions that the park has to offer while indulging in the most important meal of the day.
The travelogue launched last year, bringing viewers to Portland, Maine, with an up-close look at the Double-A Sea Dogs (Red Sox) and the surrounding community -- continued with its second episode of Season 2 last week. It explored Tulsa, Okla., with a focus on the Dodgers' Double-A affiliate, the Drillers.
"Grass Routes" will explore Rochester, N.Y., in its season finale in two weeks. All episodes air on Sundays at 1 p.m. ET on MLB Network. The Nationals' Triple-A affiliate Rochester Red Wings will be featured in the conclusion of Season 2 of the series on June 14.
