Big League Chew Bobblehead Released

The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has announced it will unveil the first Big League Chew Bobblehead ahead of the first game of the 2025 World Series on Oct. 25. The bobblehead features the shredded bubble gum brand popular with baseball fans. The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum is producing the officially licensed bobblehead in conjunction with Big League Chew.

Big League Chew was created by former Cornell lefty, Rob Nelson, in 1977 while playing for the fabled Portland Mavericks in Oregon. With help from 13-year-old batboy, Todd Field, and former New York Yankee All-Star, Jim Bouton, Rob’s idea was born. The idea was simple – shredded bubble gum in a stay-fresh pouch. The first batch was made in 1979, in Candy Field’s kitchen (Todd’s mom). Big League Chew hit retail shelves a year later and instantly became a fan favorite across America. Over four decades and one billion pouches later, Big League Chew remains a classic for kids and adults. It can even be found in Cooperstown as the “Hall of Fame Bubble Gum.”
