the dodgers have had the best ballparks ever except for the LA Memorial Coliseum.

The "Brooklyn Cyclones", Brooklyn's Baseball team. Courtesy of the "New York Mets". Support your local Baseball Team. "The Cyclones" are Brooklyn.

the next time I get up to New York,
I'm glad Brooklyns gotten a new team,
Even if they're owned by the Mets

Go Cyclones!

Love the footage of the old Brooklyn Dodgers, and have been regular at Cyclones game since I moved here(Brooklyn) 6 years ago.That being said, I hate the song "Glory days"and the LP it's from, although I do like some of Springsteen's songs...oh well, I'm nitpicking;Good job on the video.
