The story of the Altoona Curve begins in 1979. Area native Bob Lozinak, a successful McDonald’s franchisee, knew his hometown was a baseball haven and always dreamed of what it would be like to have a professional sports team in his hometown. He had a chance to make a dream of many come to fruition, so as the 1970s were about to come to a close, a series of meetings and preliminary discussions took place to put the plan into motion. However, there was enough opposition that thwarted the idea as an initial fear from natives was that a professional team would hurt the successful youth teams in the region. Professional baseball, for the time being, was put on the back burner. The future site of Blair County Ballpark with nearby Lakemont Park in the distance. In the meantime, that same year, Bob and his family went across the country and bought what became one of the most successful franchises in the entire country - the Albuquerque Dukes, the long time Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fast forward 16 years. Like many other decisions in baseball, the latest round of major league expansion had a domino effect on the minor leagues. In 1995, Arizona and Tampa Bay were awarded major league franchises to play their inaugural season in 1998. To keep pace, baseball’s rookie level added two teams in 1996. The fol- lowing year, Class ‘A’ and Class ‘AAA’ each increased by two teams. That left only Class ‘AA’ in need of expansion to match the number of teams in the big leagues. In 1997, the National Association of Profes- sional Baseball Leagues, as it was then called, decided the Eastern League would receive the two new franchises to start play in 1999. Erie was an easy first choice of the NAPBL’s expansion committee. After all, the SeaWolves had established short-season attendance records in the new Uht Park as part of the New York-Penn League from 1995-98. The awarding of the second franchise wasn’t easy. For months, it seemed Groundbreaking ceremonies, March 7, 1998 Springfield, Massachusetts would land the team. However, an inability to finalize land and stadium finance deals left the NAPBL looking for another option. Enter Altoona. City native Bob Lozinak and a group of Pennsylvania lawmakers put together an 11th hour stadium financing package and site plan. The proposal was presented to the expansion committee at an October 5, 1997 meeting in Las Vegas. It received unanimous approval and Double-A baseball was on its way to Altoona. Ballpark ground breaking ceremonies took place on March 7, 1998 and the franchise was officially awarded the following month. In June of that year, the team selected “Curve” as its nickname. The combination railroad/baseball moniker beat out several choices like “Lake Monsters,” “Ridge Runners” and, believe it or not, “Fish!” The next step for the Curve was affiliating with a major league team. Erie seemed to have an inside track on becoming the Pirates’ new Double-A club, as the SeaWolves had served as Pitts- burgh’s short-season club from 1995-98. However, after a series of meetings with potential major league parent clubs, the Curve landed the coveted affiliation with the Pirates. The September New Curve owner Bob Lozinak dons his Pirates jacket at 1998 announcement took the franchise to another level as the U.S. the press conference announcing what has become one Route 22 pairing seemed an ideal fit. Central Pennsylvania fans, of the longest and most successful affiliations between a with their strong Pirates’ roots, could now cheer for the Bucs’ top minor league franchise and a major league parent club. prospects on their way to Pittsburgh. 2 2010 ALTOONA CURVE MEDIA & INFORMATION GUIDE TEAM HISTORY The long-awaited first game in Curve history took place on April 9, 1999 in Reading, Pa. The game against the Phillies’ affiliate was suspended by rain and completed the next day as part of a doubleheader. For the record, the Curve lost its first contest, 6-2, but recorded its first win hours later with a 6-4 decision in game two of the twinbill. Finally, the Curve christened BCB on April 15 with a triumph over the Bowie Baysox. A huge crowd of 6,171 attended the history- making contest despite cold, rainy weather and nearly a one-hour delay. Blair County Ballpark ribbon cutting, April 15, 1999. After three remarkable seasons, the Lozinak family sold the franchise to a group headed by Pittsburgh attorney Chuck Greenberg on April 2, 2002. Among the limited partners in Greenberg’s collective: Pittsburgh Penguins’ owner, star center and NHL Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux; Pittsburgh Steelers’ all-pro running back Jerome Bettis; Altoona-based busi- nessmen Steve Sheetz and Don Devorris. Todd Parnell would be tabbed as the team’s new General

  • Bullpen Falters After Pitch Count Chases Kluber by Jason
    Bullpen falters after pitch count chases Kluber By Jason Beck and William Kosileski / MLB.com | 12:18 AM ET + 6 COMMENTS CLEVELAND -- Michael Fulmer won't pitch in the Midsummer Classic, but he'll settle for winning a duel opposite fellow American League All- Star Corey Kluber. Fulmer's six-plus quality innings and Justin Wilson's five-out save helped the Tigers close out the first half by avoiding a series sweep to the Indians with a 5-3 win Sunday night at Progressive Field. Cleveland heads into the All-Star break at 47-40, up 2 1/2 games on the Twins in the AL Central. Detroit moved within eight games but still has work to do at 39-48 as general manager Al Avila listens to offers ahead of the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline. Kluber and Fulmer (9-6) both allowed a run on three hits over their first five innings. But while Fulmer did it in just 58 pitches, Kluber threw 101, thanks in part to eight strikeouts. Detroit scored three runs in the sixth off the Tribe bullpen, two on Alex Presley's go-ahead double, to move ahead for good. Fulmer entered the seventh with a 5-1 lead and a pitch count of only 71, but four straight hits, including Jose Ramirez's two-run homer, knocked Fulmer out of the game before an out was recorded. Shane Greene retired three straight to escape the jam, then turned the ball over to Wilson, who stranded the bases loaded in the eighth and worked around a single in the ninth for his 10th save.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
