""Everybody's very excited to be here, and I'm very glad to host them. And just having the Holocaust survivors was really moving, because that's historic. You know, we won't be able to do this in five, 10 years.""

The Brooklyn Cyclones organized a Jewish Celebration Day, attracting around 3,000 attendees, significantly more than typical games. The event featured Holocaust survivors throwing the first pitch, performances by Jewish rapper Kosha Dillz, and cultural activities. Jeff Klein, the director of ticket sales, noted the historical significance of the survivors' presence and expressed excitement about the event's success. The Mets' lack of recent Jewish Heritage Nights contributed to the community's enthusiasm for this celebration, with plans to continue hosting similar events in the future.
