"Jersey? Sure" Night Comes To Brooklyn

Brooklyn Cyclones News Release


Brooklyn, NY, January 28, 2010 - Yo, Brooklyn, we have a situation.

On Wednesday, July 21, the Brooklyn Cyclones will be hosting "Jersey? Sure!" Night - paying homage to a pop-culture phenomenon and giving away limited-edition collectible jerseys. The high-quality mesh jersey will feature the Cyclones logo on the front and a picture of the team's mascot, Sandy the Seagull, in a fist-pumping pose on the back, with the words "Jersey? Sure!" at the top. The first 2,500 fans in attendance on July 21st will receive a jersey.

In addition, the Cyclones are offering a try-out to a popular MTV star. WFAN's Boomer & Carton recently discovered that prior to his newfound celebrity, in an effort to "impress the ladies," Jersey Shore's Mike ("The Situation") Sorrentino falsely told people that he was a back-up third baseman for the Brooklyn Cyclones. The Cyclones are now inviting The Situation to make his dreams come true by taking batting practice and ground ball drills with the team.

"We thought this would be a fun way for us to incorporate one of the hottest trends of the year into our already-unique entertainment," said Cyclones General Manager Steve Cohen (who also goes by the nicknames "Stevie Sweetheart," "DJ Stevie C," "Co-Co," and "The Perspiration"). "We still think the Coney Island shore is the best in the Tri-State area, but we're willing to give Jersey its due.at least for one night."

In addition to the jersey giveaway and The Situation's try-out, the Cyclones' "Jersey? Sure!" Night will feature:

Dugout Dance Battles - Contestants will "battle" to techno beats on top of the dugouts between innings for a chance to win prizes (and fame). GTL Giveaways - In honor of the GTL lifestyle ("gym, tan, laundry") the Cyclones have partnered with a local gym, tanning salon, and laundromat and will be giving away GTL gift certificates throughout the night Baseball Blowouts - A special station on the ballpark's concourse level will allow fans to have their hair styled like a good fastball - high and hard. Stylists from a local salon will be on hand to give the hair-raising transformations a professional touch.

Tickets to the Cyclones' "Jersey? Sure!" Night are available now as part of Season Tickets or a Jersday Mini Plan package. Individual tickets will be on sale in April. For more information, fans can visit brooklyncyclonescom or call 718-37-BKLYN.

The Brooklyn Cyclones are a Short-Season Class A affiliate of the New York Mets. In its first nine seasons of play, the team has led the New York-Penn League, and the entire Short-Season classification, in attendance each year, drawing nearly 2.5 million total fans to Coney Island's KeySpan Park. The Cyclones have advanced to the postseason six times, and won a league championship in 2001. In 2010, the team's 10th season, Brooklyn will be managed by former New York Mets star and 1986 World Series champion Wally Backman.
