Catch a minor league baseball game with Brooklyn’s top investor

Minor league baseball is about cultivating talent, about watching the cream of the crop rise to The Bigs as most players recede ingloriously into obscurity. (About 10 percent of minor leaguers make it to the big leagues.) Long bus rides and poverty wages chasing the MLB dream and a major-league pay day.
Baseball in America is not unlike startups in America.
That’s probably not why Brooklyn Bridge Ventures founder Charlie O’Donnell likes watching the Brooklyn Cyclones — the short-season Class-A (i.e., very early stage) affiliate of the New York Mets — but this is not the first year he’s organizing a tech-scene outing to the team’s picturesque Coney Island stadium.
“Last year we had over 200 people out at the game and this year, we’re going for 300,” O’Donnell writes in his weekly newsletter.
And, hey, you’re invited:
RSVP
(“It’s terrible UI, but a terrific event,” O’Donnell says of the ticketing site.)
The game starts at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 9 and features the Cyclones taking on the Hudson Valley Renegades. And if “Tech Night” isn’t a big enough draw for you, the first 3,000 fans get this Cyclones replica jersey for free.
