Former New York Mets second baseman Wally Backman is the new manager of the team’s Short Season A affiliate Brooklyn Cyclones. The Cyclones play in the New York-Penn League along with their rival Staten Island Yankees. The Cyclones have had a history of former Mets managing the team and moving them up in the organization. I think this is a great move for Backman and the Cyclones. He said his goal is to manage in the Major Leagues again. KeySpan Park in Coney Island is a great place to see a game and tickets are very reasonable compared to their big brother Mets. The level of play is no where near Major Leaguers but you’ll have a great day at the ballpark. I’ve also seen the Cyclones play on the road at Staten Island numerous times, another great ballpark two blocks from the Staten Island Ferry Terminal. Wouldn’t it be great to see Backman as bench coach for Bobby Valentine with the Mets this season?
