Try the Brooklyn Cyclones, I've heard they have a nice park and draw around 10k, which is very high for the NY-Penn League.

The Staten Island Yankees of the same league are another attractive proposition, with the added attraction of the ferry ride from Manhattan to and from the ballpark.

Yes. I considered mentioning them, but figured Staten Island was a less accessible and less attractive tourist destination. Plus, they're the Yankees.

Well, you know how I feel about the Mets (the Cyclones' parent club).

And Staten Island is actually quite a bit quicker to get to from Manhattan than is Coney Island (not to mention the relative attractiveness of the ferry vs. a long subway ride).

Question about baseball

I see the Mets as an ugly but largely benign cyst on the ass of baseball. The Yankees are malignant.

Staten Island is closer to The City, but I was thinking he might be in Brooklyn anyway, checking out the hipsters or whatever.
