2006 Altoona Curve

Sunday 7th May 2006
Altoona Curve playing the Reading Phillies at Blair County Ballpark

"A Great Catch"

This photo was published in the Altoona Mirror Sports Section on Monday 8th May
We had listened to the game on Sunday via internet radio
and click here to go to the Game Report

In that report I made a note of a catch Brett took out in leftfield
The radio call of the catch sounded terrific
and here is a copy which includes what the commentator said......
The Reading Phillies were batting during the top of the third inning
- the bases were empty and it was two down - the next batter (John Castellano)
steps in and hits and the commentator said - "That is well driven high into leftfield
and Brett Roneberg is on the run and is going back and tracking it
...... and he makes a great running catch right at the wall!!!"

And here it is!!!
A photo of that catch!!!

Some of the fans are on their feet,
with gloves ready to take the catch if it gets over the fence
Especially the kids near the front
But the lady in the pink top - well, she doesn't want anything to do with it at all!!!
