- catalog abstract ""When professional baseball returned to Brooklyn in 2001, fans were jubilant and the media swarmed. After losing the Brooklyn Dodgers to California forty-four 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." "The Brooklyn Cyclones recounts that amazing first season. Beginning with the construction of the incredible Keyspan Park at Coney Island and following the Cyclones' improbable successes on the field, Ben Osborne tells the story of that delicate first year of operation. We see the story up close and personal through the eyes of two very different young men. The first is Anthony Otero, who was raised in a Coney Island housing project and loves baseball, but has never seen a professional game until the Cyclones land in his neighborhood. The second is Brett Kay, a young player fresh from college, taking his shot at making it to the Bigs as the Cyclones' catcher." "From the Giuliani administration's dream of a revitalized Coney Island to the nostalgic dream of the long-gone Dodgers to Brett and Anthony's own dreams of playing ball, The Brooklyn Cyclones reveals the stories behind the headlines to show that the reality of creating a new sports team often involves broken promises and shattered dreams."--Jacket.".
