Red-Hot Cyclones catch an untimely ‘break’
NY-Penn All-Star Game Interrupts Brooklyn’s Best Run of Season
Former Brooklyn Cyclones manager Rich Donnelly didn’t care very much for All-Star games, especially when they came in the midst of a hot streak for his Baby Bums.
“To tell you the truth, I’m not a big fan of All-Star Games during the season because they’re exhibition games,” Donnelly noted back in 2012, the second of his three summers guiding the Mets’ Class A short-season affiliate on Coney Island.
Current Cyclones skipper Tom Gamboa, also in his third year at the helm here, might be feeling the same way this week as his red-hot Cyclones entered the New York-Penn League’s annual late-summer All-Star break on their best run of an otherwise up-and-down campaign.
