Sandy’s 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 Seagul
l was sad when the Dodgers left Brooklyn, but he kept their memory alive by telling stories to his grandson, Sandy, who loved baseball even more than he did! Sandy and his grandpa were so thrilled when the Cyclones brought baseball back to Brooklyn that Sandy set up a nest on top of the Parachute Jump so he could watch all the action. The construction workers nursed him back to health and let him hang around and be their mascot. When the ballpark was ready for baseball, Sandy was the obvious choice to become the Cyclones team mascot. Sandy has gone on to thrill over two million fans, - dancing, racing, cheering, singing, flying, and rooting with all his might for Brooklyn’s favorite team! Brooklyn's Best Mascot
