Poem

In 1930 in Uruguay, 13 countries
participated in the first FIFA World
Cup. The So. American final was
between Uruguay & Argentina.
Uruguay was down 2-1 at half time
but scored 3 goals in the second half,
ending the game with a 4-2 victory.

Beanie Buddies

There were 32 buddies produced, and their hang tags had the same information as the Beanie Babies, but with ‘CHAMPION the BEANIE BUDDY” on the front and “The Beanie Buddies Collection” inside.
