The Brooklyn Cyclones really do love Park Slope. This is from their website. I’m sorry for thinking it was a joke. It’s just that there have been a lot of jokes about Park Slope recently.
Dear Ms. Crawford,
This past weekend, the New York Times ran an article that didn’t
paint a very rosy picture of Park Slope. I was hoping you could pass
along word to your readers that the Brooklyn Cyclones are taking a
stand and proclaiming their love for Park Slopers everywhere! On
Sunday, July 27th, the team will host "The Cyclones Love Park Slope
Night" at KeySpan Park in Coney Island, and celebrate the things that
have made the neighborhood famous.

I understand why you might have thought this is a put on. But… If you have ever attended a Cyclone game you would see how serious this team is and how the in the stadium antics going on (clowns and joksters and such) are so amusing. This team’s allegiance to Brooklyn is totally sincere. I get how they team wants to set things right and show that Park Slope is a great Brooklyn neighborhood even though we do have lots of strollers and whatever madness is going on here!!
