[quote]The nervous, cigar-smoking canine standing behind Lady Buckhorn didn't know what to expect. He was glad, in a way, the mortgage had been lifted, as he wasn't too sure about the load-bearing capacity of either the box-office, or the steel beams holding the stadium together. He was about to open his mouth when a gust of wind blew a small portion of the left-field roof off, sending a shower of dirty water and pigeon droppings onto the seats below.

Lady Buckhorn surveyed the Niagara in miniature, and gave an irritated whistle-snort.

"Um, ma'am? Is there anything you're going to do for the old ballpark?"

"Yes. Give it a decent funeral. We will move five blocks down Lehigh. Call Mr. Mack and arrange for a lease on Shibe Park for next season. I want it done by the end of the year."

Lady Buckhorn gave one last, disdainful look at the condemned. There was a large billboard in right field. "The Phillies Use Lifebuoy" was the official text. Unofficially, an ambitious vandal had scrawled a rejoinder on the bar of soap held high: "And They Still Stink!"

Change was needed, the sooner the better.[/quote]

Alas, change is still needed with the Phillies...
