Brooklyn Cyclones Love Park Slope

I got this email from someone, who may or may not be connected with the Brooklyn Cyclones. I'm pretty sure it's a joke. But it's pretty funny;  would make a great Saturday Night Live skit. If it's not a joke, it's a cool and very over-the-top idea. In the age of irony, it's hard to know what's what anymore.

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.

 

As part of this special event, the Cyclones will:

 

.   hold "stroller olympics" events in-between innings
.   offer free valet stroller parking outside KeySpan Park
.   host a pre-game "Gymboree" class in centerfield
.   accept "brag about your kid" submissions to be displayed on the video scoreboard
.   highlight some of Park Slope's most famous people and places
.   allow strollers onto the field after the game to run the bases

 

For one night, we will join the two to create ... KeySpan Park Slope!  For more information, log on to www.brooklyncyclones.com. Anyone wishing to participate in the evening's Park Slope-related activities may register at the information table the night of the game.

 

Best,

Jason
