Tonight is Baracklyn Cyclones night

We linked to this way back on January 12, but the day is finally upon us.  Tonight, the Brooklyn Cyclones will become the “Baracklyn Cyclones.”

Here’s their press release:

The landmark game will take place on Tuesday, June 23rd – the “Inaugural Tuesday” of the 2009 New York-Penn League season – and will feature, among other highlights:

  • Alternate red, white, and blue jerseys adorned with the team’s new name
  • FREE Barack Obama bobbleheads to the first 2,500 fans in attendance, featuring the President in a Baracklyn Cyclones Jersey
  • The Economic Stimulus Package: From 10am on January 20th – Inauguration Day – to midnight on January 23rd, ticket prices for the June 23rd game will be “rolled back” to the Cyclones’ inaugural 2001 season rates: $10 Field Box Seats, $8 Box Seats, $5 Bleacher Seats. Beginning January 24th, tickets will be priced at the regular 2009 rates ($15, $12, $8)
  • Universal Health Care: Free Band-Aids to the first 1,000 fans
  • Naming Rights: Anyone named Barack gets in for free
  • Joe the Plumber special: any plumber named Joe gets two free tickets – one for himself, and one to “spread the wealth” with a friend
  • Bi-Partisan Consolation Prize: anyone named McCain or Palin will get a free Bleacher Seat
  • A clear-cut Exit Strategy: fans will receive American Flags and discount coupons as they leave the ballpark

In addition, the Cyclones will hold four seats directly behind home plate, Row A, Seats 1-4, for the new First Family, should they decide to attend the festivities.
