February 4 (183)

I got this shirt on July 4th this past summer in Altoona, PA where Jodi and I watched their minor league baseball team -- The Altoona Curve -- play a game.  There were excellent fireworks after the game that we could see in all different directions including the ones shot off from just outside the outfield wall.  Note that it is the Altoona Curve (singular) since the name came from a particular curve in the railroad track as it passed through Altoona.   This team apparently joins other 'singular' teams such as the Stanford Cardinal, the Colorado Avalanche, the Miami Heat, etc.
