December 14, 2005 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Brooklyn Comets News Release
Brooklyn, NY. Next season's ABA Brooklyn, NY expansion team should get good coverage if Ben Osbourne, a staff writer for SLAM Magazine has his say. Ben, a native of Brooklyn, NY and the author of the "The Brooklyn Cyclones: Hardball Dreams and the New Coney Island" can't wait for the team to get rolling. According to Osbourne, "I'm a lifelong fan of baseball and basketball and love writing about both. I've been with SLAM for eight years and I look forward to doing a piece on your league and especially your team here."
Osbournes articles have also appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post and the New York Daily News. The Brooklyn Cyclones recounts the return of professional baseball to Brooklyn in 2001, fans were jubilant and the media swarmed. After losing the Brooklyn Dodgers to California 44 years ago, Brooklyn baseball fans could once again claim a team of their own: the Cyclones, a Class A affiliate of the New York Mets. "Now," according to Osbourne, "our borough has another great team to cheer about and I know the people of Brooklyn will take them into their hearts also."
