2012 MEDIA GUIDE

team history
The dream of one native son that began decades ago has not
only become a reality, but is about to enter its 14th season in
2012. The story of the Altoona Curve begins in 1979. Area
native Bob Lozinak, a successful McDonalds 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, baseballs rookie level added two teams in 1996. The following 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 Professional
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 NAPBLs expansion committee. After all, the SeaWolves had
established short-season attendance records in the new Jerry Uht Park as
part of the New York-Penn League from 1995-98.
Groundbreaking ceremonies, March 7, 1998

The awarding of the second franchise wasnt easy. For months, it seemed
Springfield, Mass. 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
Pittsburghs 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 1998
announcement took the franchise to another level as the U.S. Route
22 pairing seemed an ideal fit. Central Pennsylvania fans, with their
strong Pirates roots, could now cheer for the Bucs top prospects on
their way to Pittsburgh.
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 their first contest, 6-2, but
recorded their first win hours later with a 6-4 decision in game two
of the twinbill.
Finally, the Curve christened Blair County Ballpark on April 15 with

On August 5, 2002 the Curve announced a new four-year affiliation agreement with Pittsburgh, securing one of baseballs

strongest affiliations through 2006. Despite the ownership
change, the Curve franchise enjoyed its most successful season
to that point, drawing 363,871 fans to Blair County Ballpark.

ORGANIZATION

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
Greenbergs collective: Pittsburgh Penguins owner, star center
and NHL Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux; Pittsburgh Steelers allpro running back Jerome Bettis; Altoona-based businessmen
Steve Sheetz and Don Devorris. Todd Parnell would be tabbed
as the teams new General Manager.

Between the 2002 and 03 seasons, Blair County Ballpark underwent its first major capital expansion project, as a new
third-base Picnic Area, left-field Party Deck and outfield reserved seating section were constructed. The additions of
the new areas brought the seating capacity of the ballpark to just over 7,200 and created enough room to hold nearly
10,000 fans on any night.
During the 2003 season, the Curve, led by third-year manager Dale Sveum, took the franchise to new heights on the
field, posting a 78-63 regular season record and securing the clubs first-ever Eastern League postseason berth. The Curve
would lose to the eventual E.L. Champion Akron Aeros three-games-to-one in the first round of the playoffs. The playoff
run helped fuel yet another franchise attendance record as 365,376 fans came through the gates at Blair County Ballpark.
In 2004, the Curve, managed by Tony Beasley, finished with a league-best 85-56 record and not only returned to the
playoffs, but took the next step and advanced to the Eastern League Championship Series for the first time in club history before losing to the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. The 04 season also turned out to be a
banner year at the gates as the Curve added a fifth consecutive franchise attendance record
after drawing 394,062 fans to Blair County Ballpark. Among those fans who attended Curve
home games in 2004 was Vice President Dick Cheney, who attended the clubs Fourth of
July game against Harrisburg. Following the season, Curve General Manager Todd Parnell
was honored as the Eastern League Executive of the Year, while the franchise was presented
the prestigious Larry MacPhail Trophy symbolizing the top promotional effort, both on and
off the field, in all of baseball.
The 2005 edition of the Curve reached postseason play in dramatic fashion, sweeping a fourgame road series from Bowie during the final weekend of the season to reach the playoffs for
a third consecutive season. Despite losing in the first round of the playoffs, the Curve won big
earlier in the season when the franchise was named the host of the 2006 E.L. All-Star Game.

Altoona would have a banner year in 2006. The highlight of the season,

and arguably the top moment in the first eight seasons of Curve baseball, came on July 12th when Altoona played host to the 2006 Eastern
League All-Star Game. A Blair County Ballpark-record crowd of 9,308 were on hand to witness Curve
All-Star Brett Roneberg take home MVP honors in a 5-3 win for the Southern Division All-Stars.
In the fall of 2006, the franchise won two prestigious awards, most notably the John H. Johnson
Presidents Trophy, which is given annually to Minor League Baseballs top club on the basis of longtime franchise stability, contributions to and promotion of the baseball industry and the financial
success of the team. Also, the Curve were honored by Baseball America as the 2006 winner of the
Double-A Bob Freitas Award.
The 2007 season proved to be a year in which the Curve continued their winning ways, as the club
marched on to its sixth consecutive winning season. However, it wasnt enough to qualify for postseason play, as the club finished with an overall mark of 73-68. That season, plenty of the Pirates
top prospects passed through Blair County Ballpark. In addition to third-baseman Neil Walker and
outfielder Andrew McCutchen, first basemen Steve Pearce enjoyed one of the finest seasons in
club history en route to being named the 2007 Topps/Minor League Player of the Year.
In 2008, the Curve celebrated their storybook 10th anniversary season welcoming back plenty of
former stars, including Adam Hyzdu and Josh Bonifay, among many others. The Curve also unveiled
their 10th Anniversary All-Time team.

team history
As for the team, though, the Curve underachieved as they suffered their first losing season since 2001, finishing with a
mark of 65-77 and a fifth place finish in the Eastern Leagues Southern Division.
However, 2008 will be remembered not for what happened during the season, but rather what happened following
the season. On Dec. 1, 2008, President and Managing Partner, Chuck Greenberg announced that his group was selling the Curve back to original owner and visionary, Bob Lozinak. Greenberg announced that he was forming a sports
consultation service and that many members of the Curve upper management would join his endeavor, including
General Manager Todd Parnell.
Shortly after the announcement of the sale, it was made public that David Lozinak would be appointed as the teams
Chief Operating Officer, overseeing the day-to-day functions
of the ball club.
The final block to the organizations new foundation was laid
on December 5, 2008 when the Lozinak Family announced
that they would bring back an old friend to steer the Curve
into the future -- Rob Egan. Egan was the original play-by-play
broadcaster for the team from 1999-2004. He left baseball for
four years, but returned to the minors to become just the fourth
General Manager in the clubs 11-year history.
On December 30, 2008, Minor League Baseball approved the
sale of the Curve from Greenbergs group back to Lozinak and
the second chapter of the Lozinak era officially began.
The new 2009 season saw the Altoona Curve stumble under
first-year manager Matt Walbeck as the team got off to a franchise worst 0-8 start and was never able to recover, finishing

Pirates General Manager Neal Huntington traded away
many valuable players at the major league level, an influx of
talent came back in return. However, no one expected the fanfare
that Pirates 2008 top draft pick and top-rated prospect Pedro
Alvarez would get when it was learned the New York native was
being promoted from Lynchburg (A) on June 23. A throng of media
attention ensued, and Alvarez lived up to all his hype. The third
baseman hit .333 with 13 home runs and 40 RBIs in just 60 games
with the Curve. He was named the 2009 Curve M.V.P. not only for
those staggering numbers, but primarily for the impact he had in
the teams overall success. In games in which Alvarez played, the
Curve were 34-26 (.567) while going just 26-51 (.338) in games
where Alvarez did not play.
An outstanding partnership with the Pittsburgh Pirates became
even stronger during the 2009 season when, on May 23, the Curve
and Pirates signed a four-year extension to their Player Development
Agreement, which will extend through the 2014 season.
With a solid affiliation under their belt, the Curve embarked on what
would be their most magical season during its time in Altoona in
2010. From the outset, the 2010 Curve had the swagger and winning attitude that would carry the club to its second division title
and its first-ever Eastern League Championship.
The cast of the 2010 club pretty much came as a cohesive unit from
High-A Lynchburg, where they won the Mills Cup (Carolina League
championship) in 2009. On Opening Day 2010, Altoona was greeted
by a prospect-laden roster that included four of the Pirates Top-10 Altoona Curve third baseman Pedro Alvarez was the most
heralded prospect in franchise history and delivered on

overall prospects. It was also a roster that had veteran talent, and it
proved to be the perfect mix to get Altoona off to a nearly perfect
start as the club started the season 7-1, a drastic turnaround after starting 2009 0-8.
Included in those first eight games was one day where everything seemed to fall into place for a memorable afternoon
at BCB. After the first three games of the season were played under dreary cold conditions, mother nature opened the
skies for a perfect 67-degree day on April 11th when the national spotlight turned to Altoona for the first professional
start of Harrisburg Senators phenom Stephen Strasburg. More than 70 media members from around the country and
upwards of 7,800 people came to watch the professional debut of the heralded Strasburg on the picture-perfect day in

It would be the first of two national exposure days for Blair County
Ballpark and the city of Altoona during 2010 as Andy Pettitte would
later start against Altoona in the first game of the Eastern League
Championship series. Pettittes start brought the MLB Network and
some of the New York spotlight to BCB as Pettittes Thunder met the
Curve for the first time in a playoff series.
All told, Altoona finished the regular season 82-60 to win its second
division title and first since 2004. The 82 wins were second most in
franchise history behind the 2004 clubs 85 victories under manager
Tony Beasley. After dispatching of Harrisburg three games to one in
the divisional round, the Curve forged on to the ELCS to meet Trenton.

his professional debut
in Trenton on September 18th to bring the first-ever E.L. Championship

to Altoona.

A few short months after the first-ever E.L. title was won, the Curve as a franchise
took another step forward by unveiling the teams new logo set, which paid homage to the railroad engineers that helped put Altoona on the map. Along with the
fresh new look came a new addition to the mascot family with the team bringing
Tenacious into the fold.
Armed with a fresh new look for 2011, the Curve were also given a makeover in the
coaching staff assignments as P.J. Forbes became the sixth manager in Altoona Curve
history. Forbes, who had piloted the Reading Phillies of the Eastern League for three
seasons from 2006-08, was coming off of back-to-back playoff appearances with
High-A Lynchburg and High-A Bradenton in 2009 and 2010 (he led the 09 Hillcats
to a Mills Cup title) before joining Altoona.
The 2011 Curve didnt get off to as fast of a start as the 2010 championship-winning club but did come out and compete
on a nightly basis. A strange streak occurred during the seasons first month as Altoona went on an unprecedented streak
of 19-straight games of alternating wins and losses. The streak ran from April 10th through May 1st and was snapped
on May 2nd, when Altoona won its second-straight game.
Altoona remained right around the .500 mark and in the thick of things in the Eastern Leagues Western Division until
mid-June, when a nine-game losing streak slid the Curve from third to last place in the division. Despite the streak
and an eventual 64-77 finish to the season, many positive things
happened on the field in 2011 and they began with center fielder
Starling Marte.
Marte, a native of Santo Domingo, D.R., was on the Curve roster
from the get-go in 2011 and never ceased to impress. The 22-yearold proceeded to tear through the Eastern League en route to an
Eastern League batting title and Eastern League Rookie of the Year
honors. It was the first time in franchise history that a member of
the Curve had won the Rookie of the Year award and it was also
the first time that an active Curve player won the batting title (Jeff
Keppinger won it in 2004 but spent the final months of the season
as a Binghamton Met).
The speedy outfielder also set a few Curve single-season records
along the way in 2011, posting franchise bests in outfield assists
(18) and hits (178). In addition to his other accolades, Marte was
both a mid-season and post-season E.L. All-Star, an XM Futures
Game Selection, an Eastern League August Player of the Month
and a Topps Double-A All-Star.

Starling Marte ripped up the Eastern League in 2011, winning the Eastern League Batting Title as well as picking up
Eastern League Rookie of the Year accolades

Season number 13 in Curve, Pa. also saw nine different former

Curve players make their Major League debuts, bringing the running total to 90 since 1999. Many of the nine played for the 2010
Eastern League Championship club (Mike Crotta, Daniel Moskos,
Josh Harrison, Tony Watson, Chase dArnaud, Jared Hughes and
Jeff Locke) while some were first-year Curve players that cracked

the Pirates 25-man roster (Eric Fryer and Aaron Thompson).
Off the field, the Curve received much national notoriety for the first-ever, on-field reversible cap, which was introduced
in 2011. The cap featured the new Curve engineer on the regular side and a Rally Cap on the inside fashioned after
rally mascot Al Tuna. The Curves Summer Cruise Night Series, which combined a cruise giveaway with the stupendous
films of Tom Cruise, was also a finalist for a Golden Bobblehead for one of the best promotions in Minor League Baseball.
Average attendance at Blair County Ballpark also rose for the first time since it climbed from 2005 to the 2006 seasons.
The offseason leading into the clubs 14th year of existence was also no quiet one as the Curve forged a partnership
with Peoples Natural Gas that renamed the ballpark at 1000 Park Avenue Peoples Natural Gas Field. The partnership
not only includes a naming-rights deal but looks to help spur economic development at the park and surrounding areas
with the use of green energy.

hasnt and it will continue to be a staple as the team enters its 14th season and beyond.

Bob and Joan Lozinak, both Altoona natives who always had
dreams of bringing professional baseball to their hometown, were
finally able to realize that dream in 1999. The original owners of
the franchise from 1999-2001, Bob and Joan along with their three
sons, Mike, David and Steve, reacquired their hometown team on
December 30, 2008.

ORGANIZATION

Bob & Joan Lozinak, Managing Members

The Lozinaks had visions of bringing professional baseball to Altoona in the late 1970s, but public opposition thwarted the idea.
They then proceeded to buy the Triple-A Albuquerque Dukes from
former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Peter OMalley and over the
next 20 years (1979-2000), the Dukes captured six Pacific Coast

League titles and numerous awards for club operations. Lozinak is

been awarded the prestigious John H. Johnson Trophy twice. The
Johnson Trophy is awarded annually to the top franchise in Minor League Baseball in the U.S. and Canada. The Dukes
were presented the honor in both 1984 and 1991. Additionally, Albuquerque also captured the Larry McPhail Trophy for
the countrys top promotional effort in 1987.
Lozinak sold the Dukes in 2000 so he could focus his efforts on his new franchise, the Altoona Curve.
After selling the Curve in 2002, the family purchased the
West Tenn Diamond Jaxx and would enjoy Double-A affiliations in the Southern League with both the Chicago
Cubs and the Seattle Mariners before the team was sold
in the early months of the 2008 season.
Bob was born in Altoona on June 4, 1937. His college
education was interrupted by five years of service in
the Army during the 1960s. Lozinak completed Officer
Candidates School in Lawton, Okla. and was honorably
discharged as a 1st Lieutenant. Upon his departure from
the Army, Lozinak returned to finish his education at
St. Francis College in Loretto, Pa. and graduated with a

former President of the Eastern League from 1974-81. He also served
as Lozinaks General Manager of the Albuquerque Dukes from 1979-99.

Together the duo won a pair of John H. Johnson Trophies (1984 and
After college, Bob and Joan became McDonalds franchisees in 1969 and their role as an owner-operator contin- 1991) as the top franchise in the country along with the Larry McPhail

are shown pictured in Altoona together in 1999. McKernan was named

the King of Baseball, at Baseballs Winter Meetings in 2000. McKernan

passed away in 2001.

Since the purchase of their first McDonalds franchise,
Joan has been actively involved in many phases of the
operation of the restaurant, whether it means balancing
the restaurant budget or appearing at numerous functions within the community.

Joan, a graduate of Altoona Catholic High School, currently serves on the Board of Trustees for Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic
High School in Altoona. She is actively involved in long-term planning, policy development, financing, capital improvements, public relations and marketing, development and alumni relations and budgetary management.
Joan has always been actively involved in the Catholic church serving as either a Eucharistic Minister or singing in the choir.
The couple can often be found somewhere inside Peoples Natural Gas Field on game days enjoying Curve baseball with
fellow fans and enjoying the fun, affordable family atmosphere they always dreamed of providing through the game
of baseball in their hometown.

executives
David enters his fourth year as the Chief Operating Officer of the Altoona Curve. His
day-to-day responsibilities are to oversee the entire operation of the franchise.
Prior to his family reacquiring the team in December 2008, Lozinak held the same
position with the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx of the Southern League.
Lozinak also spent three years working in the Accounting and Concessions departments
for the Albuquerque Dukes, a team that his family owned and operated from 1979-2000.
David is a 1987 graduate of Widener University with a degree in Business Administration. He resides in Hollidaysburg with his wife, Aimee, daughter, Katie and son Will

The teams radio voice for the first six seasons (1999-2004), Rob Egan was named
the fourth General Manager in Altoona Curve history on December 5, 2008. Egan returned to the Curve after spending nearly four years as the Secretary for Communications for the Catholic Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown (2005-08). Egan also created
and hosted the daily sports talk show Front & Center on the ESPN Radio affiliates in
Altoona and State College in 2006, hosting it for three years.
Egan enters his 14th season in professional baseball, spending the majority of his
career in the fields of communications and public relations. Prior to his first stint
with the Curve (1999-2004), he worked for minor league clubs in Charleston, S.C.
(1997-98), Johnstown (1996), and Salinas, Calif. (1995). In addition to his broadcasting responsibilities, Egan was extensively involved in the marketing, promotions,
and sponsorship sales of all the teams for which he previously worked.
During his first three years as General Manager, the franchise has achieved several
firsts. In November 2010, the Curve unveiled entirely new logos and uniform designs which redefined the teams brand for the first time since the clubs original
marks were revealed in 1998. The new logos embrace the regions railroad history by
incorporating an engineer character as the centerpiece with the iconic Pennsylvania
keystone also used in the backdrop. Even the riveted lettering and the introduction
of new colors like Railroad Red and Boiler Bronze are tied more closely to those of
the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR).
In 2011, for the first time since 2006, the Curves average home attendance increased. An enhanced promotional and marketing effort including more giveaway
events, increased social media interaction with fans, and more ticket and food value
programs, produced the increase. In fact one of the promotions that helped drive
attendance in 2011 - the innovative Summer Cruise Series - helped earn the Curve
a finalist nomination for Minor League Baseballs Golden Bobblehead Award for the
first time.
This past January, the Curve announced another first as the franchise prepared for its 14th season. Peoples Natural
Gas, a marketing partner since relocating its headquarters in Pittsburgh two years ago, agreed to acquire the naming
rights to Blair County Ballpark with a long-term pact. In addition to renaming the facility Peoples Natural Gas Field,
the regions natural gas provider has commissioned a study that will help the Curve become more efficient and environmentally friendly with all of their energy use. The study is doing the same for neighboring Lakemont Park, Galactic
Ice, The Casino, and Lakemont Park Office Village and will find out if a single energy source for the entire footprint of
properties is possible in the future.
Before getting into baseball, Egan was afternoon news and sports director for WGHN-FM and AM Radio in Grand Haven,
Mich. from 1992 to 1995. A 1991 graduate of Central Michigan University, he has performed various play-by-play duties
for three Division I schools: Central Michigan, College of Charleston, and St. Francis (Pa.) University.
Egan serves on the boards of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown and the Allegheny Mountains
Convention and Visitors Bureau. He is also a member of the Blair County Chamber of Commerce Attractions Committee
and enjoys volunteering as a buddy for Miracle League of Blair County. A native of Grand Blanc, Mich., Egan resides in
Altoona with his wife, CK, and four children: Drew, Gabriel, Caroline and Regina.

The former infielder piloted the Marauders to a Florida State League playoff appearance in 2010 after leading the Lynchburg Hillcats to a Carolina League Mills Cup title

1990 draft by the Anaheim Angels.
He spent seven seasons (1990-96) in the Angels organization before signing on with
Baltimore. He spent time in the Texas Rangers farm system in 1999 before making
his way back to Baltimore. He spent the last two years of his playing career with the

FASTFACTTHE STORY BEHIND THE NAME
The name Curve was officially chosen as the team nickname on July 2, 1998. The
name was selected by fans in a name the team contest. Other finalists included
Fish, Ridge Runners and Lake Monsters. Curve was selected for two reasons:
one for the baseball connotation but also as a tribute to the historic Horseshoe
Curve, located just outside the city of Altoona. The landmark Horseshoe Curve
was built in the 1850s as a means to make it easier for incoming trains to navigate
through the Allegheny Mountains. The first train went around the Curve in 1854.

FASTFACTSTARS SHINE ON ALTOONA

Blair County Ballpark took center stage on July 12, 2006 as the Altoona Curve hosted the 2006 UPMC Eastern League All-Star Game. A ballpark-record crowd of 9,308
packed BCB to watch the E.L. Mid-Summer Classic, which was won by the Southern
Division All-Stars, 5-3. Curve hometown favorite Brett Roneberg earned Most Valuable Player honors after going 3-for-5 with three RBI in the contest and Harrisburg
right-hander Kip Bouknight, who later played for Altoona during the 2007 season,
was named the Pitcher of the Game after tossing three scoreless innings to notch
the win for the South.
Several ballpark and community events surrounded the E.L. All-Star Game, including the E.L. All-Star Gala, which was held at Blair County Ballpark the day before the
game. Highlighting the festivities as part of the event was a concert by rock legend
Eddie Money.

FASTFACTFIRST GAME IN ALTOONA

The first-ever home game in Curve history took place on April 15, 1999 when a
crowd of 6,171 (a sellout) braved rainy conditions and a one-hour rain delay for
the home opener against the Bowie Baysox. The Curve defeated the Baysox, 6-1,
as Bronson Arroyo tossed 5.1 scoreless innings to notch the first of his 15 wins -- a
club record -- which remains intact entering the 2011 season. Garrett Long hit
the first home run at BCB, a two-run shot in the fourth inning to give the Curve an
early, 2-0, lead. Altoona broke the game open by scoring four runs in the seventh
inning, highlighted by a Craig Wilson two-run homer.

adam hyzdu
It didnt take long for the city of Altoona to show the critics who said the area was too
small to support a professional baseball team that it has as knowledgeable and caring
fans as anywhere minor league baseball is played. It didnt take Adam Hyzdu long to
discover that fact either.
When the minor league veteran signed as a free agent with the Pirates shortly after being released by the Red Sox organization early in the 1999 season, Curve fans were just
getting used to their new team and its beautiful new ballpark. Few probably even knew
the names of the players they were cheering for. But soon, everyone knew about Hyzdu.
He was the clubs Most Valuable Player during the inaugural 1999 season, batting .316
with 24 home runs and 78 RBI in just 91 games, before earning a late-season promotion
to Triple-A. Most people thought they had seen the last of Hyzdu in a Curve uniform.
However, after a less-than-intent look from the Pirates in major league spring training,
and much to the surprise of the fans of Altoona, Hyzdu returned to the Curve for the
2000 season. Although perhaps initially upset about returning to the Double-A level
for the fifth time in his career, Hyzdu tore up Eastern League pitching and in return
won the hearts of Curve fans. In 142 games for the 2000 Curve, he batted .290 with
team records for home runs (31) and RBI (106) and earned the Eastern Leagues Most
Valuable Player Award. By the middle of the season, the entire city of Altoona was
campaigning for Hyzdus promotion to the major leagues.
And just when it appeared as though Adam Hyzdus 11th season as a professional
baseball player would end without a major league at-bat, he had the week of his life.
On September 4th, following a season-ending loss to Akron, his number 16 jersey was
retired by the Curve--an honor not normally bestowed upon a minor league baseball
player. Then, just four days later, Hyzdu received the call he had been waiting for--he
was heading to the major leagues with the Pittsburgh Pirates! He singled in his first
major league at-bat on September 8th and 12 days later hit his first major league home
run against the Philadelphia Phillies at Veterans Stadium.
After returning to the minor leagues to open 2001, he was recalled by the Pirates in
May and spent the majority of the season with the major league club. On July 4th
that season, in his hometown of Cincinnati, Hyzdu hit two homers against the Reds,
bringing his baseball playing career full circle from the days when he was belting home
runs at Moeller High School.
After spending parts of the 2002 and 2003 seasons with Pittsburgh, Hyzdu left the
Pirates organization to join the Boston Red Sox system in 2004. After hitting .301 with
29 homers and 79 RBI for Triple-A Pawtucket, Adam was rewarded with a September
call-up to the playoff-bound Boston Red Sox and had a chance to remain with the club
as the Sox did the unthinkable

The 2006 season saw Hyzdu appear for his fourth major league team as he played in
two games for the Texas Rangers after signing with the club as a minor league free
agent in November 2005. Hyzdu spent the 2007 season in Japan before announcing
his retirement at the end of the year, capping off an 18-year playing career. Currently,
Adam lives in Arizona and works for the Childrens Miracle Network.

all-star game

The Eastern League All-Star Game shifts to Baseballtown in 2012 as the Reading Phillies will host the annual summer
classic at FirstEnergy Stadium in Reading, Pa. The Baseballtown All-Star Classic will take place July 10-11, 2012 in the
newly renovated facility with the actual game itself being played on Wednesday, July 11. Leading up to the event on
Tuesday, July 10 will be the Baseballtown All-Star Home Run Derby & Autograph Party to benefit the United Way of
Berks County. The Baseballtown All-Star Gala will immediately follow the Home Run Derby and Autograph Party on
Tuesday night.
An usual twist will be placed on this years All-Star Home Run Derby when the event takes place in Reading the night
before the All-Star Game. It in fact wont be like a home run derby at all but more like a batting challenge, with all
the players from the game competing to score the most points. There will be targets laid out on the field, which can
range from a target based on a golf-ball retriever that will be strolling around the outfield to an intern hanging from a
crane in the left-field with a baseball glove, and the more targets that are hit, the more points the player will earn.
This is the first time that Reading has hosted the Eastern League All-Star Game since July 22, 1974.

FASTFACTCRAZY EIGHTS
In 2010, Curve outfielder Alex Presley had an unprecedented day at the plate on May 24 in Akron. The Monroe,
La. native exploded for eight RBI to surpass Curve legend Adam Hyzdu for the most RBI in one game in franchise
history. Presley tripled in his first at bat and cleared the bases for his first three RBIs. In the third inning, Presley
homered to center field to bring home another three runs to bring his total to six. His show continued in the fifth
when he homered for the second time in the game to bring in his final two runs.

FASTFACTGOING, GOING, GONE

Led by Josh Bonifays 25 home runs, the 05 Altoona Curve established the single-season franchise record by clubbing a total of 141 big flies in 142 regular-season games. The 25 home runs hit by Bonifay are the second-most in
club history, trailing only Adam Hyzdus 31 hit during the 2000 season. Team MVP Jose Bautista was second on the
05 club with 23 homers, while three other players, Craig Stansberry (18), Tom Evans (15) and Brad Eldred (13), also
reached double figures. By contrast, the lone championship Curve team in 2010 only slugged 80 regular-season
home runs, but hit 14 in their eight playoff games.

peoples natural gas field

A minor league ballpark is one thing. An amusement park is another. But

tucked in the Allegheny Mountains is a place where theres really
no difference.
--USA Today, August 8, 2002
Opened on April 15, 1999, Peoples Natural Gas Field is widely considered by fans, players, baseball executives and
media as one of the finest minor league baseball facilities in America. Located just off Interstate 99 in Altoona, the
ballpark features a beautiful brick exterior and the design is modeled after a railroad roundhouse to tie in the industry
which helped found the city of Altoona and is still very much present to this day. The inside of Peoples Natural Gas
Field features more than 7,200 fixed seats between two levels. The double-deck layout of the seating section allows
for expansive lower and upper concourses, giving fans plenty of space to walk around the ballpark without having
to fight through a stationary crowd of people. The Skyliner roller coaster from neighboring Lakemont Park and the
scenic Allegheny Mountains add to the overall beauty of Peoples Natural Gas Field.

Mike Passanisi (Third Season)

Mike Passanisi enters his third season with the Curve in 2012 and his second as the Director
of Communications. Panini for short, Mike has been in his current role since taking over the
broadcast duties just before the end of the 2010 season.
Prior to his time in Altoona, Passanisi was the Director of Media Relations and Creative Services
for the Savannah Sand Gnats (New York Mets) of the South Atlantic League for two seasons. He
worked with the San Diego Surf Dawgs of the Golden Baseball League before his time in the
South and had the privilege of providing color analysis for one of Jose Cansecos last comeback
attempts in 2006, which was carried live on ESPNews.
A product of San Diego State University with a degree in journalism and a minor in history, its no secret that Panini
enjoys warm weather and often wears gloves in the office during the offseason due to the coldness outside. During his
time at San Diego State he interned in the San Diego State Media Relations Department and has worked at the NCAA
Tournament, McDonalds High School All-American Game and the AFLAC All-American Game.
Passanisi is a native of Penngrove, Calif., which is located about an hour north of San Francisco near the wine country,
but has also lived in San Diego and Savannah, Ga. This past October he took his travelling talents outside the USA and
traveled abroad in Europe for 11 days getting a feel for the European culture with stops in Amsterdam, Munich, London,
Paris, Venice, Austria and Switzerland.
This Apple aficionado currently resides in Duncansville and is feverishly working on the next best Jump to Conclusions
mat in his spare time.

Tyler Maun (First Season)

Tyler Maun joins the Curve for the 2012 season after three years with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (Advanced A, Texas Rangers), the last two of which saw him serve as the teams Director
of Broadcasting and Media Relations and lead radio voice. Prior to his start in baseball, the
Denver native worked in sports talk radio in his hometown, first serving as an update anchor
and producer for a show hosted by current Pirates broadcaster Tim Neverett before hosting his
own daily morning drive sports news show. While regularly covering Denvers four major sports
teams, Tyler also worked as a member of the broadcast crew for the Arena Football Leagues
Colorado Crush and as pregame, intermission, halftime, and postgame host for University of
Denver hockey and basketball. This past offseason, Tyler resumed his work with DU as a fill-in
play-by-play voice for Pioneers basketball broadcasts among other things.
In addition to his duties with the Curve, Tyler works with the Australian Baseball League as media relations coordinator,
staff writer, and manager of the leagues website. From October of 2010 to February of 2011, Tyler lived Down Under,
working as Media Director for the Sydney Blue Sox during the ABLs inaugural season. He coordinated the national
television broadcast of the leagues first championship series with Fox Sports Australia and served as public address
announcer for the series, as well.

Tyler lives in Hollidaysburg with his girlfriend Natalie, their dog Ellie, and their cat Ofia.

GENERAL INFO

A product of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Tylers alma mater is his first and only collegiate sports love. He
is a firm believer that Bo Pelini only screams like an abject lunatic to convey his affection and approval. Denver sports rule
Tylers professional cheering loyalties, though since the departure of Jake Plummer and the good days and mustaches
that went with it, hes had a brutal time pulling for his Broncos. Tyler prides himself on being oddly addicted to sports
logos and uniforms, his collection (read: massive waste of money) of over 60 New Era 59fifty MLB and MiLB caps, and
attending random sporting events like two of the last three NFL Europe World Bowls, the 2006 and 2009 World Baseball
Classic semifinals and championship games, a New South Wales vs. South Australia cricket match, and a Mexican League
baseball game. Hes traveled to over 20 foreign countries and plans to fly fish outside the Rocky Mountains for the first
time in Central PA.
