Big League Chew

Introduction

Big League Chew is an iconic brand of shredded bubble gum, renowned for its unique packaging and nostalgic appeal. Founded by former left-handed pitcher Rob “Nellie” Nelson, it has been a favourite among baseball fans and gum enthusiasts for over 40 years.

History and Development

Big League Chew began in 1977 in the bullpen of Civic Stadium, home of the Portland Mavericks. Rob Nelson, with the help of batboy Todd Field and former New York Yankee All-Star Jim Bouton, developed the idea of shredded bubble gum in a stay-fresh pouch. The first batch was handmade on February 6, 1979, Babe Ruth's birthday. It quickly became a fan favourite and hit retail shelves less than a year later. To date, Big League Chew has sold over one billion pouches, making it a timeless classic enjoyed by kids and adults alike.
