	Altoona Curve - BR Bullpen
		The Altoona Curve were founded in 1999 as an expansion team in the AA Eastern League.
		The Curve name is in reference to Horseshoe Curve, a National Historic Landmark which boasts the "best train watching in America"; the name is derived from the U-turn-type curve trains make while passing through the mountainous region.
		The Curve name ties the team with the rich history of Altoona, PA as a railroad town; the team is very closely connected with the history of the region.
