Staci and I headed to NYC for a belated birthday weekend. On Friday night, we went to Staten Island to see an SI Yankees game (below). It was a very nice park, especially for low New York-Penn League. It was situated right next to the St George Terminal for the Staten Island Ferry. Our seats were great, and it was great to be able to see the ferry and Manhattan in the distance.
On Saturday, we headed to Coney Island and Brooklyn. We got to ride the famous Cyclone, headed to the original Nathan's Hot Dogs, and went to a Cyclones game (above) that night. I loved this park, and not just because of the semi-association with my old Brooklyn Dodgers. Everything about the park was 1st class, from the 2-level store to the many concession stands to the fan interaction.
After some time in Manhattan on Sunday, we headed home. A great birthday weekend!

so jealous.. brooklyn sounds amazing.
Ah the originality of the yankees farm teams - they are worried that if they called them the Staten Islands Dumps (my #1 choice for the team name) or Richmond County Dung-Beatles (my #2 choice for the team name) no one would go...
Amazing too that if they did call them anything but the "yankees" I guarentee that these fair-weather fans wouldn't go to a SINGLE game!
