The New York Mets hit this hire out of the park. When the season ended and they informed fans that Edgardo Alfonzo wouldn’t return, they were vilified. Rightfully so, considering Alfonzo led the Brooklyn Cyclones to their first-ever New York-Penn League championship.
That anger should subside now that Ed Blankmeyer is here. Blankmeyer is a legendary figure in New York sports. He has been the manager at St. John’s since 1996. Blankmeyer had a record over .500 in every single season.
From Queens to Brooklyn. St. John's Legend Ed Blankmeyer to manage the Cyclones in 2020.
