Although the claim has been debated for decades among baseball historians and fans, the popular myth remains. Doubleday is recognized at the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum in Cooperstown, NY, where it's said the first game was played. The historic baseball field at West Point is also named in Doubleday's honor.

His grandfather grew up on the telephone poles of Brooklyn in the 1950s in a small nest on Flatbush Ave. next door to Ebbets Field. Every weekend, he would fly to Coney Island to hang out on the beach and ride the Cyclone. Grandpa Seagull 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. One day, while the ballpark was being built, Sandy fell out of the nest. The construction workers nursed him back to health and let him hang around and be their mascot. When the ballpark was ready, Sandy was the obvious choice to become the Cyclones mascot.Twitter: Follow @SandytheSeagull
