Baseball in Altoona: From the Mountain City to the Curve by David Finoli (Englis

Description: Baseball in Altoona by David Finoli For 46 days in the spring of 1884, Altoona had the honor of having a major-league baseball team, the Mountain City. For the next 115 years, despite the fact that baseball flourished here in the form of the game that the men of the Pennsylvania Railroad played, professional baseball floundered as six teams came and six teams left. Finally, in 1999, Altoona proved it could support a professional team when the Curve came to town. Since then, an impressive 10 percent of the towns population has shown up at every game, showing the love the community has for the national pastime.
