Stadium worker Reggie Duvalsaint was on a mission this year to hit every single MLB park. The food and beer vendor fell just short of that goal, but it hasn’t stopped him from continuing to work the postseason.
On Wednesday, he was in Philadelphia to take in the team’s game against the Marlins. While there, he witnessed a generous Phillies fan purchase $4,500 worth of beer.
Duvalsaint set out to work all 30 Major League venues this regular season, posting his journey on social media for all to see. He wasn’t able to achieve the feat, but still made it to 23 ballparks over the 162-game campaign.

Duvalsaint wasn’t able to hit Pittsburgh, Texas, Minnesota, Kansas City, Chicago (White Sox), Boston, or Toronto, though maybe there’s still a chance to work at Target Field now that the Twins have secured a spot in the ALDS.
He’s gained a following due to both his never-ending travels and his passion for interacting with sports fans.
“Following my Dreams and trying to be the First Food/Beer Vendor ever to work the Seats at all 30 MLB and NFL venues,” his Instagram bio reads. “25/30 MLB and 29/30 NFL Complete!”
Though he set that lofty goal of working all 30 MLB parks for this particular season, the traveling vendor has been doing this since 2017.

His social media feed is full of photos at games throughout the country as he continues checking stadiums off on his journey.
Though the MLB regular season is through, it looks like Duvalsaint plans to keep the MLB theme going through October. This week, he was at Citizens Bank Park to work the Phillies vs. Marlins wildcard game.

While working the outfield seats, Duvalsaint handed out a free round of beers to nearby patrons. Turns out, one Phillies fan was generous enough to buy drinks for the entire section as the team cruised to a playoff win.

It seems he or she was celebrating the series-clinching victory a bit early with the final outcome all but decided. Bryson Stott’s sixth-inning grand slam essentially sealed the game, putting Philly up 7-0.
Duvalsaint can add the crazy beer purchase to his list of sports stories, which I’m sure is a lengthy one given his travels. Once the baseball postseason wraps up, it will be on to the NFL.
