Cyclones Bring Back a Mazzilli to Brooklyn
Former New York Met Lee Mazzilli beamed with pride as the media surrounded him and his son, L.J. for an interview in the home dugout at MCU Park during the Cyclones pre-season work out day on Saturday June 15.
After being drafted as the Mets fourth pick in the recent Major League draft, the 22-year-old L.J. Mazzilli out of the University of Connecticut was equally as proud to come home to his fathers old stomping grounds to start his pro career.
I think my dad was a little more excited than me when the Mets announced they had picked me, he said as he watched the MLB draft with his dad. The feeling was unbelievable; I jumped up and gave him a huge hug, only now I coming down a bit.
