In 2014, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the debut of the "show about nothing," the Brooklyn Cyclones, a minor league baseball team, renamed their MCU ballpark in Brooklyn, New York for a promo night to honor the legendary, made-up latex business in the 1990’s sitcom Seinfeld by calling it, “Vandelay Industries Park.” And it didn’t stop there. It drew a sell-out, packed crowd of Seinfeld enthusiasts. When we walked into the stadium that July night in 2014, we received the “Keith Hernandez Magic Loogie” bobblehead and were greeted by the real Kramer (aka “the Ass-man” aka Michael Richards). We also saw the actual “Soup Nazi” and men wearing “the puffy shirt!”…There was a real “Marine Biologist” who threw out the ceremonial first pitch (which was a Titleist golf ball haha) and instead of the 7th inning stretch, there were a group of Elaine look-a-likes on the field who did Elaine's notorious “little kicks dance” (Yikes! haha), and to celebrate the night, “a donation was made in our names to The Human Fund – Money For People” courtesies of George Costanza. He was so nice. He made a donation in everyone's name. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, the “foul poles” were renamed that evening as “the festivus poles” for George’s father, Frank's made-up fake holiday! There was a George Castanza Snickers eating compeition and you could air grievances at the kiosk down the first base line. They even had a low talking PA Announcer haha. Everyone, including us who are huge Seinfeld fanatics had such a great time that night in Brooklyn in 2014, that the organization quickly decided to make the promo night an annual tradition. When ballgames pick back up, and fans are permitted again, be sure to put this promo night on your family’s calendar so you can get your “fusilli Jerry or Lloyd Braun bobblehead!” If you are a United States Postal Service worker (shout out to Newman haha) and come dressed as one with your USPS ID card you will get in free! Lastly, don’t fill up too much beforehand at dinner before you go to the game because they will be sure to have all “The Big Salads”, “Marble Ryes”, “Junior Mints” and “Black and White Cookies” you can eat. In this hilarious podcast episode the two of us laugh it up, reminisce about that inaugural night, and talk about our all-time favorite Seinfeld episodes, characters, and scenes.
