Coney Island on the Sly
The boardwalk ballpark that is home to the Brooklyn Cyclones has a special tribute night this Saturday. Coney Island's Keyspan Park is hosting Sly Night, a tribute to Sylvester Stallone. I cannot improve on the promo material:
Stallone has created some of the most long-lasting and legendary characters in pop-culture history, from Rocky Balboa to John Rambo, to Lincoln Hawk, to Marion Cobretti, to Snaps Provolone, to Ray Tango, and more.It's been too long since I've seen Cobra, ("This is where the law stops and I start - sucker! "). If you're concerned that the Cyclones people have forgotten some of his more memorable roles, such as the unfrozen policeman, don't fear; organizers have their eyes on the ball.
20 years since Over The Top. Where does the time go? Tagged:
In commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of the 1987 movie Over The Top (in which Stallone plays a struggling trucker competing in a Las Vegas Arm Wrestling Championship, and sporting a New York City Arm Wrestling T-shirt), the New York Arm Wrestling Association (NYAWA) will host over 100 men and women competing that day for the 25th Annual White Castle ‘Kingsboro’ Golden Arm Wrestling titles, featuring a championship match taking place on the dugout during that night's game!
