More than 1,600 alumni, students, families, and friends gathered in the Bronx on September 11 to cheer on the first-place Yankees at the sixth annual Fordham Night at Yankee Stadium. Fans got to see the home team come from behind to beat the Kansas City Royals in the 11th inning, thanks to a walk-off RBI single by Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Many fans arrived early to mix and mingle at a special pregame reception on the deck in center field, and all attendees received a Fordham maroon quarter-zip sweatshirt with the Fordham and Yankees logos.
