The Mountain Citys were a charter member of the Union Association, but folded after 25 games with a 6–19 record.
[2] The Mountain Citys began the 1884 season by playing the top teams in the league, the St. Louis Maroons and the Cincinnati Outlaw Reds, and losing 11 straight.
The Altoona team's performance against the Maroons was especially hideous; they gave up 92 runs and made 53 errors.
In contemporary newspaper reports, the team had Altoona's record (6-19) combined with their own and were considered to have finished last in an eight-team league.
