Game 13 was last night in Brooklyn for the home opener for the Cyclones. It should have been game 2 on the year between the Baby Bombers and the Cyclones. But, Friday nights game in Staten Island got rained out. Rather than play full series in one stadium the Baby Bombers and Cyclones often play home at home since they are so close.
This was my first opener at MCU park and to my surprise the Cyclones greeted the fans on the steps before the game and signed for a good 30 mins. I never do team balls for short season teams and I create my team logo sheet. I was able to 27 of the 31 players and coaches on the steps. I then finished the team off before the game.

That was the first time I finished a logo in 1 day and finished the day with 41 autographs.
As the season goes on the Cyclones will add and subtract players throughout the season. I will add the new players to the logo.
The 1 player who we are waiting for is the Mets 1st rd pick this year Mike Conforto. Hopefully he signs soon.
Some pics before my camera battery died.
