Now, I can die a happy man.  Not only did I fulfill the dream of being a real live mascot, but now I can say with pride…

“I’m livin’ the bean.”

and

“Bean there, done that.”

Yes, as of tonight, I have lived a full life.  And now, thanks to the Willmar Stingers Baseball Club and sports intern extraordinaire Ethan Price, I can say with absolute certainty, “There ain’t no joy, like being a soy, bean that is.”
