St. Louis Cardinals mascot Fredbird to appear at American Legion Post 263 breakfast buffet

 

[January 03, 2020] 

The mascot of one of baseball’s most iconic teams will be posing for pictures, signing autographs, and eating with fans at American Legion Post 263’s breakfast buffet On January 12th.

Fredbird debuted as the mascot of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1979. The 6’3” mascot is known for his dancing, practical jokes, and sending t-shirts into the stands during Cardinals home games at Busch Stadium. The iconic mascot is also known to beak fans’ heads; that is, tilting his head down and putting their heads in his mouth. It’s all in good fun, of course!

Fredbird will be at American Legion Post 263’s breakfast buffet in Lincoln on Sunday, January 12, 2020, from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. It’s a $10 admission to the breakfast for all fans (except grade school children); meeting Fredbird is included with admission. All proceeds will go to Post 263’s baseball program.

The breakfast which will be served from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. includes:
