I believe the Pittsburgh Pirate’s Mr. Lemonade is the same guy who used to say “Pepseer!” (Pepsi here!) I hope he never retires.

I’ve been served by Clancy. As a lifelong O’s fan and a Baltimore resident since 2003, I was happy to see us represented twice here! (our team sucks…we get our kicks where we can get em)

For the Comiskey natives, anyone remember Scottie Pippen’s brother? Nothing really cool about him, just looked like an ice cream scottie pippen was left out in the sun for a little too long.

I think he’s checking IDs in the right field bar now, that is if he’s not already bronzed somewhere in the stadium’s concession hall of fame.

I’ve known “Fancy Clancy” since he was 14 yrs old. I can certify that he’s the most from coast to coast. Other venues he’s worked are fights in Atlantic City and NASCAR in Las Vegas. He’s fast,efficient, and professional.

Agree with DaBurgh — nothing like hearing “Lemonade heeeeeeeeeeeeeere!” Kind of wonder what the guy sounds like in normal voice, or what would happen if he had to switch products …

I don’t know much about vendors, but I know that at Ray Winder Field in Little Rock, there used to be this guy who would catch the foul balls and sell them after the game. His name was James and he turned it into a family affair; he’d bring his girlfriend and her young son out to the games too. He would go out into the interstate to get the home run balls! When the Travelers moved from Little Rock to Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock the manager, Bill Valentine, was afraid that James wouldn’t follow them. On the first day of batting practice, there he was. Waiting for fouls.
Sadly, earlier this year, James and the boy were in their mobile home when it burned to the ground. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette featured an editorial column honoring him. Now whenever people mention ballpark vendors, I always think of my brother buying the foul ball from James in the parking lot of Ray Winder.
