Altoona Mountain City

From BR Bullpen

When Henry Lucas could only get seven members for his new Union Association in 1884, he had to settle for placing a team in the small town of Altoona, PA. The team joined the UA on February 20; its initial bid to join the league was denied. The schedule did not help the Mountain City squad out - they played their first seven games in Cincinnati and St. Louis against the top two teams in the league. When the ycame home 0-7 on April 30 they again faced Lucas's own St. Louis Maroons team and lost four straight. On May 10 they won their first game, but after six weeks they folded with a 6-19 record. Lucas had the team replaced by the Kansas City Cowboys.
