So major league baseball is supposedly coming back. Opening day July 24th…
But it’s too late for Hampton Farms.
The company is getting crushed by the lack of baseball action. And with no crowd…. the outlook is bleak. This line from the song explains why….
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks.
Peanuts! Hampton Farms is the company that roasts the peanuts you buy at big league baseball games. And they’re not just any peanuts. It’s a specific breed of peanut called the Virginia. It’s just big enough… and the shell *looks just right” and the shell opens perfectly for kid to enjoy at a baseball game.
One out of every five Virginia Peanuts ends up at a baseball stadium. But not this year.
Hampton Farms bought ‘em all up to roast and package… but without baseball … the company has been left holding the bag. And while Major League Baseball gets ready for a 60 game season… it’ll be played with no fans in the stands. No peanut shells piled under the seats.
The peanut industry is planning a promotional campaign urging you to enjoy peanuts while you watch baseball on TV. But don’t drop the shells on the carpet.
