This is the Fenway peanut guy. His name is Rob Barry. He once threw a bag of peanuts from one dugout to the other during the 1986 world series. The game was halted after the bag was thrown.

Rob Barry, who sells peanuts there, he got suspended during the 1986 World Series. He sat down to watch the game. He was supposed to be selling hot dogs or something at the time, and he got in trouble and actually lost his job temporarily because of that.
