Fordham Baldies

[catsinthecradle2009]

Yea, I remember the Fordham Baldies, I was from the area of Fordham road in the Bronx. It was back in the late 50"s. I was just a kid then, but I remember them. They were so cool and tough. People respected them due to fear of them. They carried chaines and brass knuckles in case anyone messed with them. ( Brass knuckles were new weapons in those days.). Yep, I remember them alright!!

valentine avenue off of fordham road...memories of my childhood

[57highland]

My friend from the Bronx, Ray Licini, told me there was a real Bronx gang called the Fordham Baldies in those days. (Haven't seen Ray since 1980, the year after this movie came out.)

MAYBE THE BALDIES GOT HIM.

[57highland]

Oh shit! Now you got me worried! Cuz I just remembered that after Ray told me about the Baldies, he said "Yeah. They look like a bunch of pricks wit ears." Damn!

[Zipgunn1]

@57highland There was a real gang called Ducky Boys too.

[57highland]

@Zipgunn1 Yes, I read something about the Ducky Boys. They were Irish (or mostly Irish), right?

[Zipgunn1]

@57highland, Yes, I've just found this book on Amazon "Lost Boys of the Bronx: The Oral History of the Ducky Boys Gang"

Apparently Ace Frehley of KISS was a Ducky Boy and ironically Dion Dimucci (singer of the hit version of the song The Wanderer) was a Fordham Baldy

[carolina4733]

@57highland yaa they started in 55

[57highland]

@carolina4733 they still around or faded into history? And the Ducky Boys, they were actually as wierd as in the movie (don't ever talk, look like nerds, travel in huge packs, go to midnight mass, kill people)?
