Brooklyn Cyclones, the Minor League Baseball team of the South Atlantic League and the High-A affiliate of the New York Mets recently celebrated their annual “Seinfeld Night,”.
Well, this celebration take places every year in order to pay tribute to the popular comedy show “Seinfeld”.
However, the Elaine dancing contest is considered to be one of the most hilarious ways the people pay tribute to the comedy show.
During the competition, the contenders dress up as Elaine, the character from the show, and the contenders then perform funny dance moves, which was originally performed by the actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Meanwhile, in this year’s Seinfeld night was attended by more than 8,000 jubilant fans.
Thank you to the close-talkers, low-talkers, anti-dentites, baldists, double-dippers, high-talkers, and those with the Kavorka who made Seinfeld Night so much fun. It was one for the record books — our largest crowd since 2015. pic.twitter.com/MZ50GReYph

This year’s promotional giveaway at the stadium was a bobblehead of George Costanza holding a golf ball while sitting on top of a whale.
Billy Harner, the Cyclones assistant general manager said, “Tickets for the game are on StubHub and SeatGeek, which is not a normal thing for a minor league baseball team,”
“That’s because it’s Seinfeld from start to finish.”
Harner further stated, “It’s basically a Seinfeld fan convention with a baseball game in the background,”
The game was played between the Brooklyn Cyclones, a High-A affiliate of the Mets and the Hudson Valley Renegades.
However, in an ode to Seinfeld, the teams were renamed Brooklyn Pretty Boys (Keith Hernandez’s cameo) and Wappingers Falls Bubble Boys (hometown of the bubble boy reference).
Harner regarding its popularity stated, “The story appeared on the local news in all 50 states,”
“One of those media tracking services said we got the equivalent of three Super Bowl commercials of exposure.”
