Limited Offer: $2 Tix to Cyclones’ Wednesday Game


by on Jul 12th, 2009

We at Sheepshead Bites are very sociable people (not really). So it should come as no surprise (actually, it’s very surprising) that we receive invitations to cool events and offers all the time (almost never). For example, just recently we got invited to see the Brooklyn Cyclones game this Wednesday, July 15, at Coney Island’s Keyspan Park for just $2.

But wait, there’s more! The invitation is extended to all of our awesome readers by the event’s organizers, the NYMeetup group. Tickets include a hot dog, a soda, and – for the early birds – a batting helmet (first 2,500 at the park). Sure, it’s the bleachers – but where in New York can you get a hot dog and coke for $2?!

Tickets are expected to sell out quickly, so be sure to head over to NYMeetup’s page, find out the details, and confirm your spot ASAP. Oh, and drop us a line if you’re going – ’cause we’ll be there, too!

    I’m not going…unless, they announce spinach pies and some juice for $2. As for the batting helmet, I’m not too sure when I would use it…

    Hi, I am a newbie, would like to know if a daytime fishing boat trip could be organized. It would be great!
    Thanks

    No need to tell us that you are a “newbie”. The fact that you posted about fishing, on an 8 month old baseball article, proves that. LOL
    If you are looking to fish in sheepshead, there are many boats that go out. Take a drive along Emmons avenue sometime. They post the times/phone number/etc, at the piers that they leave from.

    Well actually, plans are underway for an expedition to locate the long lost Sheepshead, the fish our lovely community is named after. This shall be done under the aegis of Sheepshead Bites, and the vessel shall carry its flag. A date sometime in 2024 will be announced when plans are in the ready.

    We should just catch a bunch from Northern Florida and fly them back here and release them! With permission from the proper U.S. authorities of course!

    I wonder if they would survive and proliferate here again.

    My understanding is that they were extinct here even before 1890. Overfished.

    From what I've been told they were not overfished. Rather, changes in the ecosystem made it inhospitable. And it continues to be so today. It's been suggested that a strong return of oyster beds might entice them back, but no one knows for sure. It's too bad – I hear they're mighty tasty. Maybe one day we'll organize a trip down the coast to go eat some.

    An article I once read offered a bunch of possible scenarios. Among them changes to the inlet made by storms. Overfishing was a suspected causation as well.

    At any rate they were plentiful in the 1830s and practically unseen by 1880.

    If I could remember where I read this article it might be possible to obtain a copy.
