Brooklyn Cyclones
The past two summers, we’ve gone to a few Cyclones games. They’re the minor league baseball team that plays at Coney Island. It’s a lot of fun to go out to Coney Island and watch baseball overlooking the ocean and the lights of the boardwalk. They have a couple of mascots and do a lot of goofy games with kids on the field between innings, as well as a race of people dressed as hot dogs. I always like mascot races. This year, the Cyclones are even good, leading their entire league. We had a big group with us this weekend and everyone had a great time cheering on the Cyclones.
Whenever we go, we get hot dogs at Nathan’s before the game. They’re much better than the hot dogs inside the stadium, and they come with sauerkraut or sauteed onions. Also, I have a fondness for their cheese fries, despite them being kind of mushy and the “cheese” not really resembling actual cheese. Of course, we don’t order 66 dogs like the hot dog eating champion. I wouldn’t want to have a “reversal of fortune.”
After the game, Alex wanted a snack, but the hot dog line at Nathan’s was really long. So he got in the seafood line and ended up with frog legs. We were all pretty grossed out because they looked just like frog legs, but they tasted pretty much like chicken.
