Thoughts and pictures of my local minor league baseball team the New York Penn League Connecticut Tigers; a Detriot farm team. We'll still be looking at former Navigators/Defenders players along the way....

Yankee superfan 'Freddy Sez' dead

From the Daily Post
Sunday, October 17, 2010

"Fred "Freddy Sez" Schuman, a Yankee Stadium staple for the last 20 years, has died, according to a report at NYDailyNews.com. The report says a friend, Chuck Frantz confirmed Fred Schuman's death. He was believed to be 85.

Schuman died at Lenox Hill Hospital on Sunday afternoon after suffering a heart attack on Friday night, according to EspnNewYork.com. A hospital official confirmed Schuman's death, the report said.

At almost every Yankee game, Schuman could be seen outside Yankee Stadium with his daily message for the Yanks and a frying pan he banged like a drum. He also let other fans bang it as well.

He became such an institution that his lucky frying pan and spoon, thanks to Frantz, were put into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Yogi Berra museum in 2004.
Schuman also had his own website, freddysez.com, complete with a Freddy FAQ.
