The Legend of Freddy Sez
March 24, 2010 | Posted by Dan Reiner
*** begin quote ***
So who is Freddy? His real name is Freddy Schuman, born in 1925 and raised in the Bronx. At age nine, he lost his right eye in a stickball incident. Since 1988, he has been the unofficial ‘mascot’ of the New York Yankees, as well as the Manhattan College Jaspers, the Fordham University Rams and Lady Rams, the Columbia University Lions, the Princeton University Tigers, and the Cornell University Big Red.

[JR: A colorful "character". We do need a "mascot" like the WV Mountaineer, Syracuse's Orange Dot, ... ... so how about a "Brother Jasper" reprising his role as "Prefect of Discipline"? Of course, the definition of "discipline" might include whipping the "crowd" -- all seven of them -- into a frenzy with dipping into S and M. MC needs some "color".]
