Today - thanks to AI - I learned that the Brooklyn Cyclones are a major league ballclub

Michael Thomas Conforto, nicknamed "Scooter" and "Forto", is a Major League Baseball (MLB) outfielder for the Chicago Cubs. The right-handed throwing, left-handed hitting player previously played for the New York Mets, San Francisco Giants, and Los Angeles Dodgers. In the 2014 draft, the Mets selected Conforto in the first round with the 10th overall pick. He reached the majors just one year later, making his debut with the Brooklyn Cyclones.
