Fresno Falcons News Release
Fresno, Ca. - Freddie Falcon, the Dean of the Central Valley mascots, made history today when he stepped outside the Zamboni entrance at the Save Mart Center and saw his shadow in front of him for the first time. Freddie, who has a ten foot wing span and always cast a big shadow has never really seen his own shadow until today. Witnesses say Freddie's shadow, which was cast on the pavement of the Save Mart Center parking lot at approximately 1:37pm Fresno time, was facing southeast, indicating that Freddie's shadow was pointing toward Las Vegas. Freddie, declared that his shadow pointing toward Las Vegas was a sign that the Falcons will catch Las Vegas in the Pacific Division.
