Kelly threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

Speaking of MCU's Municipal Sports Series, Police Commissioner Kelly said, "The Municipal Credit Union has been a great team player with the NYPD, especially in its support for the department's athletic competitions." This was the first of two Civil Service Nights MCU sponsored with the Staten Island Yankees; the second, on August 20th honored the FDNY. The credit union also supports a series of Civil Service Nights with the Brooklyn Cyclones, at Keyspan Park in Coney Island. All of these events are part of MCU's Municipal Sports Series which includes sponsorship of inter-agency sports competitions, as well Civil Service nights which are designed to recognize the contributions of civil servants, and give them the opportunity to just kick back and have fun with their families.

"Our Municipal Sports series gives us the chance to be out in the community where our members live and work, " said MCU resident and CEO, Kam Wong, "and that's exactly where we want to be". It is a pleasure to see these hard working men a nd women who serve our City every day having fun at the games."
