The Orlando Juice was one of the eight original franchises that began play in the Senior Professional Baseball Association in 1989. In the league's inaugural season, the Juice finished third in the Northern Division, narrowly missing the playoffs. Pitcher Pete Falcone anchored the club's pitching staff with a 10-3 record. After their first season, the Orlando Juice ceased operations. The team was managed by Gates Brown, while Dyar Miller and Bill Stein served as player-coaches.
