About this product
Product Information
Witness a never-before-seen perspective of the personnel who have become legends in their own in the stands of The Friendly Confines. In 1970, a vendor at Wrigley Field had an amazing idea to turn his personal camera away from the baseball diamond and toward his fellow ballpark hawkers as they went about their daily jobs of selling souvenirs, programs, hot dogs, ice cream, and soft drinks. Along the way, he also captured images of other employees - ushers, security staff, commissary workers, and union officials. The result, Wrigley Field's Amazing Vendors, offers an inside look of Major League Baseball that Arcadia Publishing is proud to include in its Images of Modern America series. The subjects themselves are amazing: a blind Frosty Malt vendor; a singing peanut vendor; a Coca-Cola vendor who went on to become an economic adviser to the president of the United States. Many of the vendors photographed in the 1970s are still in the aisles of Wrigley Field today. Others left for new career opportunities, while a few became legends in vending history.

Reviews
"Lip service is often paid to hard-working, behind-the-scenes baseball employees. In Arcadia's Wrigley Field's Amazing Vendors, part of the publisher's "Images of Modern America" series, these pros, and especially the vendors, get their due. Authors Lloyd Rutzky and Joel Levin have been Wrigley vendors themselves. Most of the color photos in the book were taken by the thoughtful Rutzky in the 1970s, and Levin's text glows with respect and appreciation for the many workers and friends whom he identifies by name and specific vending task. The fourth and final chapter of the book is about the "legends," including the man to whom the book is dedicated: Irving Newer, the blind avuncular salesman of the famous Wrigley treat, Frosty Malts. Levin says no fan ever cheated Irv when making change while paying him. A very human, rewarding book." Spitball Magazine
