\"\"<\/a>CONEY ISLAND \u2014 The Brooklyn Bar Association hosted a baseball night on July 9 at Maimonides Park in Coney Island to support the Brooklyn Cyclones.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The BBA enjoyed conversation and networking with friends and family while taking in America\u2019s favorite pastime. The Cyclones squared off against the Wilmington Blue Rocks and came away with an 11-2 victory.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

BBA Director of Operations Paul Vaygen, who organized the event, told the Brooklyn Eagle, \u201cWe have a lot of good things to look forward to this year.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The BBA is planning more social gatherings, continuing legal education events and an outreach effort targeting new lawyers and law schools to bolster the organization\u2019s membership.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BBA President Dan Antonelli, Esq, who was installed as president of the association in June, said that events like Baseball Night, a tradition in its second decade, are beneficial for current and prospective members.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re here today to have a good time and to take a little break from all the serious stuff,\u201d Antonelli said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe venues for the events are the icing on the cake,\u201d he said. \u201cI have this memory from about 10 years ago where one year, it rained. The baseball game was canceled. We wound up going to a local bar and restaurant and had a great time. That just goes to show you that your friendship is where your friends are.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added that he is \u201ctrying to create some excitement\u201d for future get-togethers, including a possible professional basketball game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many bar associations out there, many of which are much bigger than ours, but what we offer is that real special Brooklyn vibe,\u201d Antonelli said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He spoke about the sale of the BBA\u2019s longtime headquarters at 123 Remsen St. In April, the BBA announced that it had listed the property for $12 million, with Ariel Property Advisors serving as the exclusive broker. A new location has not yet been announced.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a lot going on with the building and trying to reshape the organization in a way that will be sustainable for another 100 years,\u201d Antonelli said. \u201cThe new location must represent an epicenter within the legal community, much like 123 Remsen has.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
