Naturally and artificially flavored. Big rally. The Story of Big League Chew, The Hall of Fame Bubble Gum. Sitting in a Northwest League bullpen long ago, Portland Mavericks lefthander Rob Nelson came up with a fun new idea: shredded bubble gum in a stay-fresh pouch. He called it Big League Chew. Rob shared his idea with fellow Maverick Jim Bouton, who eventually found a company that knew how to make shredded gum. The rest, as they say, is history. Today, over 40 years and 800 million pouches later, Big League Chew is the only bubble gum ever honored by being.exhibited at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. It's an improbable saga: a Minor League lefty with just one professional win to his name (in three seasons!) ends up blowing Big League Bubbles at the steps of the Hall of Fame alongside the iconic greats of the game. For those of us who love baseball, it just doesn't get better than that. Big League Chew is proudly made in the USA by Ford Gum, in the small, vibrant town of Akron, New York - just three hours away from Cooperstown. What a classic and fun Only in America story!
