Peanut Man Roger Owens started working at Dodgers games when the team still played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Nearly 60 years later, he’s still hurling strikes with style, including his signature behind-the-back move with a powerful flick of the wrist.
When it comes to chucking peanuts, Roger Owens does it with style.
Owens has been part of the Dodgers game day experience for nearly 60 years. He’s the Peanut Man who hurls strikes to fans in the stands with Clayton Kershaw-like accuracy and the flare of Yasiel Puig.
Owens has a variety of styles. His NBA shot looks like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s Skyhook. Sometimes, he deftly tosses a bag under one leg.
But his signature move is a behind-the-back toss that Owens makes look easy.
