Reds Opening Day Parade
Who's that? Bill hiding behing that flag?
HEY!! Its...you guys. yep its us all right.
1932 - "Peanut Jim" Shelton arrives in the "West End" and begins selling his roasted peanuts outside Redland Field. "Peanut Jim" was as much a part of Crosley as were the Reds themselves. Dressed in his stovepipe hat and tails he sold roasted peanuts from his pushcart well into his nineties, having moved to Riverfront Stadium in 1970, along with the Reds.

ReplyDeleteI never knew the story behind Jim Tarbell's "Mr. Peanut" costume. Of course, I never really see the entire parade anyway.
