Big League Chew

Big League Chew is a brand of bubble gum. It is shredded and packaged in an aluminum foil pouch. It was created by Portland Mavericks left-handed pitcher Rob Nelson and bat boy Todd Field.[1] It was then pitched to the Wrigley Company by Jim Bouton as a fun imitation of the tobacco-chewing.
