"I've been going to Cyclones games since their inaugural 2001 season, which has somehow added up to just short of a quarter-century."
"Sandy the Seagull has now been Ozempic'ed; the Beach Bums have morphed into the more staid Surf Squad; the field is turf; the park has been renamed more times than I can remember."
"All of this makes me faintly sad - the Cyclones were more fun before their edges got sanded off."
"But most of what worked then still works now: It's baseball on Coney Island, with the Parachute Jump looming over the stadium and neon hoops adorning the light poles."
