One sunny Saturday, while sitting at a Baltimore Orioles game, we started shelling peanuts and before long we were completely distracted by the individuality of each one. We decided to have a little fun as the game dragged on scoreless inning to scoreless inning. As we picked each peanut from the bag, we gave it its rightful place in history. Most of the names we had forgotten until someone suggested giving Virginia peanuts to clients as gifts. We created a special label and packaged a few tins. And now, a few moments in peanut history.
