Coney Island Cyclones

I finally got out to Coney Island to see the Brooklyn Cyclones. Highly recommend. When I went, it was a beautiful evening with a cool breeze coming off the water and across the outfield, but I think the weather is always like that at the beach.
Minor league games are a spectacle. If you combine that with the teeming hodge-podge of humanity that is Coney Island, you get some of the best people watching in the world. Sitting next to us were a half-dozen season ticket holders from the neighborhood. Everytime the Cyclones had a man at bat with another on base, this group of friends rubbed their hands together to warm them up. Then, seemingly without any cue, the would unleash a staccato of synchronized claps. The gang sits behind the ‘Clones dugout and are a must-see if you attend a game.

Also on parade, just like the games in Altoona, were some interesting varieties of hair. Last note, the Cyclones are a farm team for the Mets, so I even got to see a sea gull poop on a Yankees cap.

Thanks to Alex and Scott for the tickets.
