Altoona Curve News Release
CURVE, Pa. - When the Altoona Curve return home on Monday to welcome in the Erie SeaWolves (AA - Tigers), they'll have just three homestands left in 2014 before the season is going, going gone. Next week's stay at home features four firework shows, an appearance by Curious George, an appearance by Sons of Anarchy's "Piney", Super Splash Day and a Gerrit Cole Fashion T-shirt Giveaway.
Headlining the events this week will be the appearance of "Piney" from the FX show "Sons of Anarchy" on July 31. Piney (played by actor William Lucking) appeared in 52 episodes of the biker-drama from 2008 through 2011 and was the club's oldest member when the series began. Piney was one of the First 9 who founded the club along with Clay Morrow and John Teller.
Lucking is no stranger to the screen, however, as he has also appeared in such films as Contraband (2012), The Rundown (2003) and K-PAX (2001) while having roles in many TV shows including M*A*S*H and The A-Team.
All fans that come to the park on their motorcycle for Thursday night's game will receive free parking at the game. In addition, the first 50 motorcyclists who show up to the game will be allowed to partake in a motorcycle parade around the warning track before the game on Thursday.
