Brooklyn Cyclones: 6 (Danny Garcia); 19 (Brian Bannister); 20 (Dillon Gee); 35 (Angel Pagan);
NOTE: A Cyclones player may still wear these numbers, with the exception of 14, & 42. Additionally, no Cyclone may wear 37 (Casey Stengel) or 41 (Tom Seaver) due to the numbers being retired by the Mets.
On August 22, 2011, the Brooklyn Cyclones also honored Pia Toscano, who sang the anthem prior to a game in 2003 by putting a plaque on the press level.
