Set against the backdrop of Altoona's rich baseball history, the narrative chronicles the town's brief stint with a major-league team in 1884 and its subsequent struggles to maintain professional baseball for over a century. Despite the ups and downs of six teams coming and going, the community's passion for the sport persisted. The arrival of the Curve in 1999 marked a turning point, with a remarkable 10 percent of the population attending games, showcasing Altoona's enduring love for baseball.
