NJ Team to move to State College
Altoona Curve management on Monday reached a sales agreement with the New Jersey Cardinals of the New York-Penn League. The single-A minor-league franchise, pending approval from various organizations, will become the to-be-named State College Professional Baseball Club.
The sale will not be official until it is approved by the New York-Penn League, Minor League Baseball and Major League Baseball. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The Curve's 19-man ownership group had been searching for a franchise for the last few years, continuing that search as ground was broken for the new stadium in May.
Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, a 6,000-seat, $24-million facility adjacent to Beaver Stadium, is expected to be completed in June 2006, in time for the start of the New York-Penn League season. The Penn State baseball team will begin play there in 2007.

So...will they still be a StL affiliate or will the Pirates change their NY-Penn to them from Williamsport?
