At least this would have shown how “brave” Charlie Brown was, in “standing up to Lucy and Frieda,” so to speak; while they had told him not to get rid of the dandelions, he did it anyway(since the pitcher’s mound is “no flower garden,” plus,again, it INFURIATED him big time, to be called cute.) They might as well have called him pretty(with dandelions around him); after all, it DID make him THAT mad, to be called cute.

Not sure the flora could withstand it, either. Try growing around where teams that had more money would have their bullpens or outside the ballpark.

Daffodils and tulips for Spring training, and marigolds and cosmos for the Summer season!

Frieda shouldn’t be too upset. In my experience, if all Charlie Brown did was cut the dandelions down, as opposed to uprooting them, they’ll be back — and pretty darned fast.
