RIP He was at every Steelers, Pens and Pirates game. I never knew him as a lemonade guy though. Just cotton candy. Definitely a Pittsburgh legend.

its funny how long some of those vendors will hold onto a job.

At fenway you get guys who leave work at their law firm early to go sell peanuts at the park. Very territorial too.

working in a ballpark like Fenway is excellent.

And these guys don't leave because they make great extra money by going to every home game. Going to baseball games and getting paid to do so is unbelievably satisfying.


It's also a matter of tradition for some guys. It becomes something that you get so used to doing every summer, that you cannot imagine may-october without it. Sounds bizarre, but its actually a difficult job to let go of.
