Jim Curtin is not immune to Union fans’ frustrations. The Oreland native hears the boos when his name is announced with the starting lineup at games, and he doesn’t pretend otherwise.

“I know that I’m judged each and every day by the fans,” the Union manager said Wednesday. “There’s been a lot of negativity this year, and it’s been deserved, because we haven’t gotten the results that we set out to do at the start of the season. In Philadelphia, in any pro sports city, when you’re not getting wins, the fans are going to let you hear it, and that’s part of what I signed up for.
