1. Peanut Guy – Peanuts have been a staple of sporting events for a long time and the person holding this iconic position stands above all others. This vendor stands alone because not only is his product well-respected, but very rarely can one (not named Kyle Farnsworth) be paid to throw objects at another human being.

2. Beer Guy – The long-time flag bearer of the vendor ranks has come under fire recently with the rising price of the product as well as the constant IDing of legal age consumers has become a major setback. Not to mention the resistance to providing caps to beer bottles, however the product adds a new element to game and will continue to be a staple for the rowdiest of fans. This goes without saying, but the “Beer Man” is also the most distinguish. Their brethren include the Phillies Miller Lite guy who is a sight to behold, notice the little girl that runs away at the end.

3. Cracker Jack Guy – Some could call the Cracker Jack Guy to be the pinnacle of vending due to the shear history of the product, but it has definitely seen better days as it can really only be seen during baseball games. It may be a product of the past, but there is still a strong contingent that relies on being rewarded with a prize at the bottom of the box.

The Worst

1. Cotton Candy Guy – In a battle of Royal Rumble of ballpark foods, cotton candy would fair the same as Martin Gramatica in a Royal Rumble of NFL kickers. Beer and Peanuts would beat the pink novelty worse than George Lucas’ daughter. This fact going along with the constant hassling over the obstructed view that it creates, makes this vendor job the worst of all. Respect is lost and nothing is gained, the only question I have is if the vending industry works the same way as the porn industry. Do vendors have to start out with cotton candy just like guys in porn have to start out with some gay action?
