Minor league baseball team
The Orlando Juice was one of the eight original franchises that began playing in the Senior Professional Baseball Association in 1989. The team was managed by Gates Brown, while Dyar Miller and Bill Stein served as player-coaches.[1] The club was owned by Philip J. Breen, a mortgage executive who disappeared in 1990 after he was accused of embezzling over $10 million dollars from a Detroit business.[2]
