Fordham Homecoming

Last Saturday we went up to the Bronx for Fordham's Homecoming activities. Although it was a rainy day, there was a nice tent with food, music and lots of activities for Mary Pat to enjoy. As you can see, she got to meet the Fordham Ram and the Bronx legend that is Freddy! That's right, Freddy** was walking around the Homecoming tent with his frying pan and spoon. Mary Pat was not sure what she though of him! Here are some more pictures from the day.

**For those of you who don't know who Freddy is, he is an old man who attends every single Yankee game and any other sporting event in the Bronx (i.e. Fordham football and basketball games) with a home-made sign that he attached to a stick with a frying pan that he hits with a spoon. If you see Freddy, you have to hit the frying pan with his spoon! He is a lovable Bronx icon.
Checking out Freddy, complete with his sign and spoon.
Enjoying her snickerdoodle cookie!

WT...You let Mary Pat get close to "Freddy"??? I don't care if he's a Bronx legend (and I'm sure there are scarier legends in the Bronx)but OMG you are going to scar the poor child for life. First, scary painted clowns on her first rocking chair and then some frying pan 'hittin "legend" walking around with a spoon. The look on her face tells it all. I think you need to blow that crazy place and come on back South.

Y'all are in my prayers.

Word Verification: s-a-c-t-o-p
as in, "Old scary Freddy with the sactop face looks like he maybe been hit with that 'fryin pan he be a 'totin around".
