Edgardo Alfonzo still believes in last-place Cyclones
Manager Hoping for ‘Turnaround’ After Taking Series from Yanks
“Ya Gotta Believe” was the New York Mets’ mantra back in 1973 as they went from cellar dwellers to pennant winners in a span of two months.
Edgardo Alfonzo is trying to invoke that same fighting spirit in his league-worst Brooklyn Cyclones, hoping that taking two of three games this week from the first-place Staten Island Yankees will catapult his club to new heights as the 76-game grind of a New York-Penn League season continues.
“That was a good win,” the Baby Bums’ skipper said after Brooklyn bested Staten Island, 3-1, on Wednesday night before a crowd of 6,034 at Coney Island’s MCU Park.
