another famous fred...

i too have had the honor of banging on that pan with a spoon at the stadium.













Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg has whacked the pan. So has the Yankees' principal owner, George Steinbrenner. Yogi Berra hit it, and Hideki Matsui did, too. Bruce Egloff, 57, a doorman in Manhattan who greeted Mr. Schuman at a recent Yankee game, has struck it, as has Joe Cohen, 31, a police officer in New Jersey who has been going to games since he was 5. "You come to Yankee Stadium and there's certain staples that you expect," Mr. Cohen said. "Great hot dogs and Freddy. Where else is he going to go where 50,000 people know his name?"
