Shuck, Yeah In 2005 the Mississippi Gulf Coast received a direct hit from Hurricane Katrina. The destruction of the 20-foot storm surge and 150 mph winds was catastrophic. With the coast practically wiped off the map on that day it was a wonder if the coast would ever recover. Flash forward 17 years and the coast is thriving again, perhaps better than before, and if coming to Biloxi today you will have a hard time telling that anything happened on that fateful day in August 2005. One symbol of hope and resilience for the region is the Biloxi Shuckers, who were born in 2015 when the Milwaukee Brewers moved their Double-A team from Huntsville as the first affiliated minor league baseball team to ever play in Biloxi.
