[metsmagic18]

I hope to graph:

-Connecticut Tigers
-Worcester Tornadoes
-Wilmington Blue Rocks
-New York Mets
-Philadelphia Phillies
-Bridgeport Bluefish
-Long Island Ducks CHECK!
-Brooklyn Cyclones

All visiting teams who play them

I know a lot about most teams, but does anyone have help for the Cyclones or Rock Cats?

I can help with the Long Island Ducks, Brooklyn Cyclones and Mets.
Short Season A Ball is to easy.
The Cyclones gates open 1.5 hrs prior to game time. Go to the 3rd base side. I suggest you then go to the far end of the dugout down the line. Hang there and you can get whoever walks by. I do not think I've ever been turned down. You can go to the end of the dugout closest to homeplate. But, there is not much room there and you have to reach down. It can get crowded there fast. If the player does not come out of the dugout and you have a roster. Just call them over.
As for outside the stadium. Both team come out on the 1st base side which is on the parking lot side. You will see a door that has plastic barriers set up around the entrance. Hang there. the players get on the bus there. Sometimes visting players come out, put there stuff on the bus and then walk to Nathans and get food. The visiting teams get on a full size coach bus. The Cyclones get in 2 different 12 passanger vans that come and go a few times.
Citi Field is far more difficult to get visiting players. The team bus enters a non accessable area to the public. So, who ever comes in on the bus. You will not get outside the stadium. Other visiting players either take the subway or taxis and walk into 1 of 2 different entrances. 1 is on the first base side and the other is on the 3rd base side. If you get there real early and hang out near the rotunda you may be able to catch players on both sides.
If I do Cyclone games its only on the weekends. Unless there is a special promotion or for a rehabbing Big Leaguer. I do Duck games very often. Only a 15 min ride for me and sometimes do not even go the games, just go afterwards.
PM me, I'll see if I'm going that night. Good Luck!

If you get a chance, try the Staten Island Yankees. With no traffic its probably just another 30 mins from the Cyclones. Awsome few of the City skyline.

Rockcats @ NB Stadium?
NB stadium is incredibly easy to graph and is deffinitly one of my favorite to graph
Along the dugouts when the gates open inside.
Outside the players leave through a door on the 1st base side of the stadium for Rockcats and 2nd base side for away. it is incredibly easy to get autos after the game, just look for a group of people waiting around and thats where the players leave. Also look for roving Twins instructors like Paul Molitor and occasionally Tom Kelly.
