They’re just hoping for a fuller house.
The Cyclones are not moving to the West Coast — despite images of team jerseys emblazoned with San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge circulating the Internet. The Brooklyn Dodgers’ 1957 departure still has Brooklyn baseball fans sore, but the Clones aren’t blowing outta town, a spokesman said.
“A team from Brooklyn moving to California? That would never happen — again,” said spokesman Billy Harner. “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it. We learned from the mistakes of the Dodgers leaving Brooklyn and the baseball-sized hole it left in the borough’s collective heart. We love our city and hope to be here forever. Besides, we’d miss the pizza too much.”
Brooklyn’s boys of summer — whose logos feature the Cyclone roller coaster and the Brooklyn Bridge — are wearing the seemingly anathema attire on July 9 as a promotional tie-in with Netflix-rebooted ‘90s sitcom “Full House,” which was set in the California gold-rush town.
It’s the first time the Cyclones — a team named for a piece of iconic Brooklyn architecture — will don an out-of-town landmark on its uniforms, Harner said.
The team will give away bobbleheads of actor John Stamos, who is reprising his role as Uncle Jesse on new show “Fuller House.”
The organization is still trying to top its much ballyhooed Seinfeld night — something it won multiple industry awards for in 2014, Harner said.
“We made the mistake of setting the bar pretty high, but we always try to top what we’ve done in the past,” he said.
