2006 Altoona Curve

Tuesday 25th April 2006

Signing autographs before the game

A note from Ed Leipold, a diehard Curve Supporter!!!
Hey Geoff
How about them Curve?
Exciting comeback win tonight,
and Brett made his debut back in Altoona a memorable one indeed
Tied the game with his first homer, and singled the winning run to third in the 11th inning
Very big win!
The best part was, Brett and Rafael Alvarez were signing autographs before the game,
and as I am usually one of the first fans into the ballpark,
I was the first to greet him, and welcome him back to the Curve
I took his picture and talked to him a little before more fans lined up for autographs
He said his was anxious to get to playing ball,
and that he thought we had a great team for '06
When he said he was DHing tonight, I wished him well in his debut
And boy, did he ever come through
I must have been physic!!
Because I told him, since Travis Chapman was on the shelf for awhile,
we needed him for some pop in the line-up
He didn't take long to provide some!!
Brett's off to a great start,
and with the rest of the guys really playing great all-around baseball,
it should be a fun summer at Blair County Ballpark
You take care, Geoff, and the best to you and yours
Ed
