"Stadium Goes Down, Baby Comes Out"

Veterans Stadium sits at the corner of South Philly as it always did. The sun rises on the vacant building and pigeon scavengers through discarded soft pretzels from the previous night’s events. The building stands as it always has ready to be pumped full of fans. Hooting and hollering for the good old baseball team the Phillies. The sun will soon bet setting on the life of the Veterans Stadium.

Meanwhile in South Jersey, Jenna sits on the couch at Duke’s apartment as she always did. Inside her an infant child grows, a living and breathing organism. Swimming, kicking and punching and will soon be out grow his or her surroundings. Baby Beanzie increasing is in size and getting stronger. The sun is rising on his or her life.

Veterans Stadium a creaky old building worn down by years gone by has out grown it’s purpose. The building stands in the Philadelphia skyline for now, but its time in the filthy air of the city of brotherly love will soon be over. The building will be broken apart and the pieces will be distributed all over the place. Pieces here and pieces there. The buildings final chapter has arrived, perhaps the final chapter will include some glory for the Phillies before the final page is printed. Maybe the story will leave all the Phillies fans grinning ear to ear.

Baby Beanzie will soon come charging through into the first pages of the story of his or her life. Born into the filthy South Jersey air into a world full of Featherless Chickens, lack of jobs and constant war. Born and ready to make his or her mark on the world. Soon Jenna’s big stomach will be gone and her and Lima Beanz’s first kid will be pooping constantly and looking amazingly at his or her’s surroundings. Likely to leave Jenna grinning ear to ear, because as she told me recently she is extremely excited about getting to see and hold her kid. Who can blame her its such a late part of the pregnancy and its almost time to ready to be a mom! From what I am told they got some really cool stuff, and they only have had on side of their family’s baby shower so far. With very little time left I imagine Lima Beanz’s family shower can’t be too far off. With all the time and excitement his parents must be feeling about being first time grandparents I am sure its going to be a big one. Lima Beanz might be excited too, I think it appears that he refuses to shave until the big day though, so its hard to see him smiling underneath all that manly facial hair.

Soon Veterans Stadium will gone. It will just remain in pictures and us old people when we tell people how things used to be. Back in the day when the Eagles and Phillies resided in the same stadium and all the football players that came to down tore their knees up on the horrible surface.

One story ends, one begins. They both will happen with in the same month of each other or so. The two events coincide. Criss-cross. Baby Beanzie is born, Veterans Stadium is destroyed. Criss-cross. Time is surely against one and for the other. It won’t be long now before the deafening constant screams of another infant child are heard or the sound of a steal ball smashing apart concrete fills echoes through the air.
