Sandy the Seagull

Greetings, My name is Sandy the Seagull.I come from a family of baseball-loving birds. My grandfather grew up on the telephone poles of Brooklyn in the 1950’s. He lived in a small nest on Flatbush Avenue next door to Ebbets Field and every weekend, he would fly out to Coney Island to hang out on the beach and ride the Cyclone. On game nights, he would fly over to the ballpark and watch the great Brooklyn Dodgers teams, while snacking on the ballpark leftovers. Grandpa Seagull was sad when the Dodgers left Brooklyn. He eventually moved my family to Queens and became a Mets fan. He found a nice nest at the #7 Train station and would take his flock to Mets games all the time. What did not change were the weekend plans, which always included a visit to Coney Island. When my dad was old enough to move out on his own, he found a nest on top of the Parachute Jump tower.I was born in 2001. One day, while Keyspan Park was being built, I fell out of the family’s Parachute Jump tower nest. The construction workers nursed me back to health and let me hang around and be their mascot. When the ballpark was ready for baseball, I was the obvious choice to become the Cyclones team mascot. With my inspired leadership, and cheerleading, I helped lead them to their first championship season, and have thrilled over one million fans at KeySpan Park. If you would like me to appear at any of your upcoming events, This includes Birthdays, Weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Christenings, Communions, Holiday parties or any other event, please contact the Cyclones at (718) 382-2600.
