At that size, probably a bat boy or player's kid. Not to directly attribute, but Carlton Fisk brought his kids (total brats ) on the field in the early 1980s. The manufacturer of the jacket (Capital Ace) only supplied the Chisox from 1979-81, and cut off supplies completely during the '81 season after the Sox announced a "pick the new uniform style" fan vote with the winning selection already contracted out to Medalist/Sand-Knit.
