After more than 50 years, Dodger Stadium's beloved 'Peanut Man' is still winning the hearts of fans
Robert Sanchez has been a vendor at Dodger Stadium since he was 16.
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- If you've been to Dodger Stadium, you've probably purchased some snacks from one beloved vendor.
He's known as "The Peanut Man," and he's been serving up snacks for more than 50 years.
Robert Sanchez has been a vendor at Dodger Stadium since he was 16. He started out selling, you guessed it, peanuts!
Now in his 52nd season, Sanchez sells pizza at the Pavilion, walking five miles per game, carrying around about 20 pounds of snacks.
"Like my dad told me years ago, 'a little sweat on the forehead never killed anybody,'" he said.
"That's what I do, baby! Hike those stairs and sell my product!"
He says working at Dodger Stadium is not just about keeping the fans full, it's about connecting with them, too. His infectious energy radiates and often stops to take photos and videos with fans that he posts on his Instagram account.
"I've been told I have the gift of the gab," he said. "Staying busy with the phone and still being a top dog at Dodger Stadium with sales."
Fans love seeing "The Peanut Man," and at 68, he says he doesn't plan on slowing down anytime soon.
"As long as I'm having fun, you'll see me at Dodger Stadium."
