Brooklyn Cyclones: New York
built 250 days ago
The home of the Brooklyn Cyclones honors Brooklyn's baseball past by displaying the retired numbers of Jackie Robinson and Gil Hodges. There's a statue out front of Pee Wee Reese famously putting his arm around Robinson during the latter's historic rookie season. The Brooklyn Dodger and New York Mets logos share a spot on the side on the aisle seats of every row.

On his first night playing with the Brooklyn Cyclones, Jim Burt Jr. was a designated hitter. As an all-state player in New Jersey at Bergen Catholic, he was an outfielder. He is ... a bit of a football player; his father, Jim Sr., won a Super Bowl as a nose tackle with the Giants.
