Flagrant 2: A Salute to Seinfeld and a Single Tear


Neymars World Cup-ending injury. Joey Chestnuts eighth-straight victory at the Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest. Novak Djokovics epic, five-set battle with Roger Federer in the Wimbledon final. Major League Baseballs All-Star rosters.

A whole lot happened while you were watching fireworks and clogging your arteries. Of course, only one thing truly mattered: The Brooklyn Cyclones Salute to Seinfeld night.

Milos, Mets, Magic Loogies: The 25 Greatest Seinfeld Sports Moments

Yada, Yada, Yada.

The New York Mets minor-league affiliate pulled out all the stops in honor of Seinfelds 25th anniversary on Saturday: Players took batting practice in puffy shirts, a guy named George Costanza (who drove down from Rhode Island) did radio commentary, the foul poles were re-named Festivus poles (and the stadium dubbed Vandelay Industries Park) and the Soup Nazi threw out the first pitch.

There were contests involving marble rye and Junior Mints, a low-talking play-by-play announcer and, of course Keith Hernandez Magic Loogie bobbleheads. The game itself was a stinker the Cyclones lost 18-2 to the Aberdeen IronBirds but few of the 8,241 in attendance seemed to mind. Especially since there was an Elaine Benes Dancing Competition.

Well done, Cyclones. It was real, and it was spectacular.

Roger Federer Hates Mondays Too.

After losing the Wimbledon final to Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer sums up how were all feeling today.

We know, dude. Mondays are the worst.
