del.icio.usThe wait ’til next year is finally over, Cyclones fans.
At long last, nearly nine months after the Brooklyn Cyclones were swept in the New York–Penn League finals by the Auburn Doubledays, the ’Clones begin their quest for their second championship with their home opener against the hated Staten Island Yankees on Tuesday, June 17, at 7 pm at Keyspan Park. The action moves to Staten Island on Wednesday night and then back to Keyspan on Thursday.
Manager Edgar Alfonzo, who led the Cyclones in their lone championship season in 2001 and returned last year to pilot the minor-leaguers to another near miracle, will be back in the dugout calling the shots.
“We’re thrilled to have Fonzie back with the club,” said Cyclones GM Steve Cohen. “He has a real rapport with the Brooklyn fans, and he’s a proven winner who has brought out the best in the teams he’s been with.”
