Lots of people will put them on ebay because they don't like this promotion,
they don't like Obama and will make money on the bobleheads.

And I didn't "punish myself" by not buying tickets.  They didn't get my money. 
Plenty of other MiLB teams in the area.

Get over it.  This promotion and plastering Obama's name on the uniform is
wrong.

Hey, Gallup, How do you know that I'm an "unsilent" minority on this point? 
Just because it's a sell-out?  Any bobblehead night sells out.  And how many
will wind up on ebay.

Get over it.  This is wrong.

Are you a Democrat?

I'm against having ANY elected official/politician's name plastered across the
jersey during a game.

And Steve Cohen whatever merits he has or had was a mean spirited idiot for this
blatantly partisan promotion.

And Roy, you are right.  Politics and baseball don't mix and the Cyclones should
have kept it that way.  As for Barack Obama coming to Brooklyn to watch the
game, seats will be "left open" for him so it's not like idiot Cohen wouldn't
have welcomed him.

None of the other promotions you mention had anything to do with politics.

This is wrong.

I don't recal the Cyclones wearing "Bushlyn Cyclones" jerseys at any time during
"the 8 years of GW Bush's illegal occupation of the White House."  And that's
the point.

Yes, they're going to name the road to hell for him.

At the end of the day, no elected official to my knowledge has had his name put
on the uniform during an actual game.  It's not appropriate.

Ha ha.  Washington is the name of the City where the Nats play.  Is Barack now a
City?

But you are right about one thing.   The Mets and their entire farm system is
bush league all the way, and I say that as someone who saw their first Met game
in 1967.

There is no defending this partisan promotion.

Sorry, but Marty was a bobblehead only.  This time the insulting Wilpons and the
Cyclone's idiot GM weren't content to hand out a bobblehead.  They had to go
further and put Obama's name right across the front of the uniform.  You think
that's okay?  Do you know of one single instance in which that has ever been
done in organized, affiliated ball?  Excluding, of course, the old Soviet Union.

Apples and oranges, my friend.

This is not about "popularity."  It's about putting a stain on the uniform by
replacing Brooklyn with Baracklyn, the name of a politician.  Something tells me
that the people who think this is "popular" would not have appreciated the
"Bushlyn Cyclones."

You just don't put a politician's name, any politician's name, on the uniform. 
It's not appropriate.

And it is political.  Obama Girl throwing out the first pitch?  People named
McCain or Palin banished to free seats in the bleachers?  It's a regular Obama
Drink the Kool aide fest.

He makes mention of the Baracklyn event about 2/3 of the way down. The last
question asks about his most memorable moments. I have to agree about the SI
series in '01. That 3rd game was probably the most exciting, pressure packed
sporting event I've witnessed in person.

To all those who'll be there this year, enjoy. I'll probably take in a game in
August.

***************************

03/26/2009 10:00 AM ET
By Benjamin Hill / Special to MLB.com

The Minor League Baseball landscape is endlessly diverse and encompasses
everything from rookie league clubs nestled in mountainous rural areas to
Triple-A teams located in the heart of major urban centers. Accordingly, each
club must develop marketing and promotional strategies that resonate with its
unique fan base. Each week MiLB.com profiles a Minor League club to spotlight
just how interesting and varied the world of professional baseball can be. In
this, the final installment of "At Home With," we speak with Brooklyn Cyclones
media relations director Dave Campanaro. Since their inception in 2001, the
Cyclones have ranked among the top drawing teams in all of Minor League
Baseball.

MiLB.com: How would characterize your team's fan base? Has it grown or changed
in recent years?

DC: Brooklynites are extremely passionate about baseball -- and about anything
that is distinctly the borough's own -- so we're fortunate in that we meet both
criteria. When the Cyclones were born in 2001, the fan base was starved for
professional baseball. It had been 44 years since the Dodgers left for LA and
Brooklyn's heart still hadn't healed (and probably never will). That first year
was all about baseball returning to Brooklyn, but it was also about introducing
the Minor League atmosphere to a Major League market. Most New Yorkers had very
little, if any, experience with Minor League teams -- the promotions, the
wackiness, the between-inning contests, the zany antics. In those first couple
of years, I think we introduced a whole new world of baseball to the New York
market, and we've been building on that ever since.

As time has gone on, our fan base has become much more familiar with and
knowledgeable about, the brand of entertainment (and baseball) we offer. They
have come to love the Cyclones for who we are and what we do, rather than seeing
us as a potential replacement for the Dodgers (which are super-sized shoes that
no one can fill). We still have our share of baseball purists and historians,
but every year we see more and more families, kids and casual fans who enjoy not
only the game itself, but all the entertainment that surrounds it.

The fact that we can appeal to both is what makes the Cyclones experience so
special, and what makes our fan base so diverse.

MiLB.com: What type of marketing strategies do the fans respond to?

DC: We really focus on the fact that we provide unique, affordable fun for the
whole family. Most Minor League teams do that, but that value becomes even more
magnified when placed in the context of the New York market. There aren't many
other avenues for entertainment in the Big Apple in which you can bring a family
of four for less than $40 (including parking) and get free giveaways, interact
with players and mascots, dance on the dugouts, watch fireworks, dress up in
costume, get autographs, win prizes and still get home in time for the nightly
news.

MiLB.com: Has your team staged any notable promotions in recent years? Any that
just didn't work?

DC: We pride ourselves on having something crazy at the ballpark just about
every night. More than anything, we've found that when we, as a staff, have a
genuine energy and interest in a promotion, it gains momentum, and fans really
get involved. Our Superhero Night was a fan favorite, as was our Medieval Times
Night (especially when the sword fights and jousts became the only entertainment
thanks to the game being "fogged out"). This year, we are extremely excited
about our Baracklyn Cyclones promotion, in which we are changing our name and
uniform for the night to honor our president. We introduced our own stimulus
package (discounted tickets), health care plan (free band-aids) and exit
strategy (free flags for fans as they leave the ballpark) and are giving away
limited edition bobbleheads, in addition to other events and surprises
throughout the night.

We've had a few promotional nights that never really took off (dnim ot semoc
thgiN sdrawkcaB). Editor's note: Hold the previous five words up to a mirror.
But when that happens, we try to have as much fun with it as possible, and to
learn from it ... even if that means learning to never do it again.

MiLB.com: How has the internet affected the way your team is run?

DC: The internet has changed the whole game for us. In 2001, we had a Web site
that consisted of about 15 pages, and we updated it a few times a week (a few
times a month in the offseason). Now, our Web site is the focal point of our
marketing efforts, and we've supplemented it a variety of additional online
entities, like an email newsletter, a blog, a Facebook page, a YouTube channel,
live streaming audio, online chats and a branded multimedia center. Thanks to
all these uses and more, our online reach is well into the millions.

Our online presence is also the most controlled and effective way for us to
convey our messaging, and to keep our fans interested and entertained. Our Web
site has become a destination and our social network has become an online
community. Our blog has become a cult favorite with questionable humor and way
too much inside information).

MiLB.com: Does your concession stand serve any regional specialties or otherwise
remarkable items?

DC: Our ballpark is located just down the block from the original world-famous
Nathan's, so naturally we serve those hot dogs at our concession stands, and
they are among our most popular items. We have also served several other
Brooklyn-centric and diverse items like cheesecake, Brooklyn Brewery beers,
kosher foods, Brooklyn-based dumplings and more.

MiLB.com: What type of merchandise sells the best at the team store? Are there
are any unique items available for purchase?

DC: Items that are branded with the word "Brooklyn," particularly those with a
nostalgic feel, are big sellers for us. Our on-field home cap is still a classic
seller as well, incorporating the "Brooklyn B" of Dodgers lore with an
interlocking "Cyclones C" to blend the past, present and future. Our uniform's
color scheme is also largely focused on the red, blue and gold colors that
dominate the Coney Island landscape and make us identifiable within the
community.

MiLB.com: How large of a role does your mascot play, both at the stadium and
within the community?

DC: At our level (Short-Season) in particular, the players on our roster change
with great frequency. Not only are there very few players who are here from year
to year, but in some cases, from week to week! With that being the case, it's
virtually impossible for us to market a player with any consistency, and as
such, our mascots -- Sandy and Pee Wee -- are truly the most recognizable faces
of the franchise. Fans may not always know who our manager is or who's playing
third base ... but they know those crazy seagulls!

In addition, on-field personnel are in Brooklyn for just about three months, but
our initiatives in the community are year-round, so it is Sandy and Pee Wee,
more often than not, who fly in to visit schools, hospitals, street fairs,
parades, little leagues and anywhere Cyclones fans may be gathering. The
Brooklyn birds are synonymous with the Cyclones and vice versa.

MiLB.com: Minor League stadiums often vary greatly from one another. What are
the positives of playing in your facility? Any drawbacks?

DC: KeySpan Park is fortunate enough to have one of the most unique and historic
locales in all of baseball. We are located in the heart of Coney Island, with
neon lights, roller coasters, ferris wheels and freak shows over the left-field
wall and a boardwalk, beach and panoramic ocean view over the right-field wall.
The ballpark itself seems to capture the energy of the borough, from an intense
and vibrant color scheme to the one-of-kind neon lights that circle our light
towers and draw us into the amusement parks that we neighbor. The towering
Parachute Jump is one of Brooklyn's most recognizable landmarks (often referred
to as the borough's Eiffel Tower) and looms in the right-field corner, almost
becoming a part of the park because of its size and proximity.

The park is accessible by car, subway and bus (and even boat), and has been
visited by over two million fans since its inception. Our plot of land may not
be as large as that of a ballpark in a more rural area, but truly being a part
of the Coney Island landscape is what gives our field its identity.

MiLB.com: What have been some of your favorite moments since you've been with
the team?

DC: My favorite on-field moments occurred in 2001. In the first game ever played
at KeySpan Park, Edgar Rodriguez hit a two-out, two-run home run in the bottom
of the ninth to tie up the game, before Mike Jacobs hit a sacrifice fly in the
10th to win it. That Opening Day crowd saw a classic game that couldn't have
been scripted to end any better. That same year, the Cyclones came back from an
0-1 hole to win two games against Staten Island in the playoffs in front of
probably the most raucous crowd I've ever seen.

Off the field, my best memories are of the players and coaches who call Brooklyn
home for a few months, and how they really become part of the Cyclones family.
Their interaction with each other, our front office and fans has created some of
the most special and lasting memories for me.

That, or the time Relish won his first hot dog race!

It's is clearly a boneheaded decision by the Met's and the Wilpon's however the
Wilpon's (and I guess I say this acknowledging I am a fan of the Yankess ML
Team) have never the most classy and clearheaded of MLB owners.

They are a bunch of isolated rich guys who are clearly in love with their man
Obama and do not realize the world outside of their circle does is not always on
the same page with them.

Maybe their reality will come crashing to earth when they soon realize their
hero is nothing more that a typical self serving (though smooth talking)
politico whose thoughts and efforts are hardly based on the best interested of
our beloved county.

as a result of that lame, partisan "Baracklyn Cyclones" night

bad enough they decided to have it, then when you complain about it, they blow
you off and get nasty...didn't renew my longtime ticket plan because of it

so screw 'em this year...that's what happens when you disrespect part of your
fanbase and mix in poltics

just like the stinkin' big club at Citi Field...all Jackie, no METS

Hey, folks!

Any news about who the Mets drafted this week and whether any will end up in
Brooklyn next week? I saw they drafted a big-time lefty high school pitcher from
Long Island--he would certainly be a popular player in Coney Island....Any
guesses who might be "demoted" to fill out the Cyclones' roster? I am hoping
Wilmer Flores, the kid at shortstop, comes back for a full half-season at
Keyspan Park!

Sammy Cyclones

Fabulous! That sure beats the Atlantic League, where I saw him play against
Newark last year......

I am thrilled to hear that both gentlemen have moved up the ladder in the
organization! They are both so deserving of promotion--especially Hector, who
did such fabulous work with the pitchers over the years he worked in Brooklyn.
His live arms kept the Cyclones in many a pennant race despite weak bats! Good
luck to them both!!!

He's in affiliated ball, playing for the High Desert Mavericks, a Seattle affiliate, in the high A California League.

Here are his stats:

A quick check of the Savannah site shows Edgar as the manager. The team is
25-27.

Hector Berrios is the pitching coach at Binghamton. Donovan Mitchell is a coach
there as well. Binghamton is 22-28.

In case you haven't heard, former Cyclone reliever Robert Paulk has signed on
with the Long Island Ducks. I wish the guy well, but I really think the Atlantic
League is filled with Dead Players Walking....Only a handful ever make it to the
majors from there.....I thought Paulk had great stuff, but he got hurt a few
times, and had a terrible season last year....

Anyone know if Ian Bladergroen is still toiling in the Atlantic League??? Any
other ex-Cyclones knocking around down there?
