Fans living in the Bronx won't have to travel far on Saturday to get a glimpse of the World Series trophy, which, of course, is in the possession of the New York Yankees.
The trophy will be making a short trip, as the Yankees will be bringing it to Fordham's Rose Hill campus, which is only a few miles from where the trophy resides now - Yankee Stadium.
Fans can view and take photographs of the hardware, which will be on display in Fordham's Rose Hill Gym from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The trophy's visit to Fordham is in conjunction with the Rams' basketball game against Temple, which begins Saturday at 1 p.m. Yankees announcer Michael Kay in a 1982 graduate of Fordham.
The Yankees might have to be concerned that some of Fordham's "losingness" might rub off on the trophy. At 2-15, Fordham is one of only seven teams - out of 320 in Division I - wit two or fewer wins.
Then again, the presence of the World Series might actually inspire Fordham to win a game.
In November, the Yankees won their 27th World Series title with a six-game victory over the Philadelphia
Phillies.
Since then, the trophy has traveled far and wide. Two weeks ago, Yankees vice president Felix Lopez, coach Tony Pena and players Robinson Cano, Damaso Marte and Franciso Cervelli headed a group that took it to the Dominican Republic.
