2001

The Brooklyn Cyclones are relatively new, coming into the game in the summer of 2001 after 44 years. The Brooklyn Cyclones played their first home game on June 25, 2001. The stands were packed with fans and media alike and they were not disappointed. With two runs down and down to their last strike, then third baseman Edga Rodriguez made a two-run home run over the left field wall and the crowd went wild. It was Mike Jacobs sacrifice fly in the tenth inning that won the game and so began the beginning of Brooklyn baseball. The Brooklyn Cyclones was welcomed by the community with open arms, with a record new league attendance at 289, 381 fans in KeySpan Park.

2002

Brooklyn's second season would see the injuries of several of its players and partially due to this it didn't make the playoff hunt.
