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 town's population has shown up at every game, showing the love the community has for the national pastime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Finoli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738555371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738555379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.56w x 0.34d","brand":"David Finoli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925794193663,"sku":"9780738555379","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bc5c40c8-d25d-447b-9091-6c4ea6d5a3aa.jpg?v=1681079396","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/baseball-in-altoona-david-finoli-9780738555379","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
