Fordham Pride.

The Giants won! I was in my apartment when the game finally concluded and could an uproar of cheers from 77th Street. I also saw streams of people leaving their apartments to head towards the bars (at 11 pm on a Sunday night).

On parade day, Grand Central was absolutely insane. At 9:15 am blue jerseys outnumbered suits 10 to 1. Every downtown train was packed. Looked like half the city took off work that day!

Fordham couldn't be prouder of the Giants win...
