The Mets Police

This is a shot of Brooklyn Cyclone’s pitcher Carlos Vazquez delivering a pitch on the road against the Staten Island Yankees.  Why red?  

Brooklyn’s official colors are Blue and Gold, so it’s not because of that.

 

The Brooklyn Dodgers don’t appear to have ever worn red except for one year in 1901.  I don’t think that’s it.

Is it the actual Astroland Cyclone?  Looks like that might be the winner.
