Brooklyn’s New Kids on the Block
Cyclones Ready to Roll into Staten Island Friday Night
Tom Gamboa gave up the comfortable environs of the golf course to rediscover his roots as a baseball lifer this summer on Coney Island.
Armed with a roster full of fresh faces and a couple of returnees to the 2014 Brooklyn Cyclones, the franchise’s newest manager is raring and ready to go as the Baby Bums open their 14th campaign across the Verrazano Bridge against the rival Staten Island Yankees on Friday night.
“I’m excited to come back and teach young guys,” Gamboa told the Eagle after accepting the post following a three-year hiatus from managing back in March.
