Growing up in New York, Gothamist was limited to only two baseball options, the Yankees and the Mets, but in recent years, baseball has bloomed in the big city. Two more options are available for baseball fans in the single A affiliates of the Yankees and the Mets - the Staten Island Yankees and the Brooklyn Cyclones.
The Cyclones returned baseball to Brooklyn in 2001 after a 44-year absence when the Dodgers moved to California. Since then, they have had one of the most loyal fan bases of any single A teams in the country, drawing almost 300,000 fans to Keyspan Park since they started playing. Yesterday, we went to our first Cyclones game of the season.
The stadium eventually filled with a foggy mist, but the Cyclones defeated the Auburn Doubledays 3-2, with 3 runs in late in the game. The beauty of a game at Keyspan, or at any other minor league game for that matter, is the small town atmosphere. Sure, beers still cost $5, but there is plenty of mid-inning entertainment - including an eating contest, which Gothamist participated in.
And if minor league baseball isn't enough fun, there is always plenty to do at Coney Island.

Don't forget Nathan's. Just down the street from Keyspan Park.
That photo looks great. Decent view of thr field and Great background.
I had the distinct honor to be the scoreboard operator at Keyspan Park for about two weeks in the summer of '03.
In other news, I'm anxiously awaiting a post with your Siren thoughts and recap.
Don't forget the Newark Bears, in the independent Atlantic League. I've been there many times and got to see Jose and Ozzie Canseco, Jimmy Leyritz, Rickey Henderson... okay, in the has-been portion of their careers, but that's not that different from the never-will-bes you get in short-season single-A...
There's also the Long Island Ducks and the New Jersey Jackals, but those are hard to get to if you don't have a car.
That was you? I'm the mascot down there and had to laugh at Jeremy, the announcer, making all the communist jokes. Way to chow down on the cheesecake.
