Baseball season is finally in full swing, pun intended! While avid baseball fans can benefit from chewing gum to alleviate stress during a game – as opposed to biting their nails or holding their breath – the actual players need bubble gum for a different reason.

Historically, ball players would use chewing tobacco to stimulate the production of saliva. We know it might sound a little gross, but saliva is actually necessary to keep their gloves moist. This can be a little tricky because baseball fields are traditionally dusty.  Now that we know chewing tobacco is not good for us, there are alternatives that work just as well. When it comes to the right baseball candy to do the job, Big League Chew bubble gum is the way to go.

Right now we are carrying Big League Chew gum in 12-count packs in a variety of flavors that include cotton candy, grape, watermelon, and sour apple. We also have the Team Rally Bucket that holds 80 pieces, perfect to hold the team over for a little while! Bubble gum is great because the Big League Chew gum balls are long-lasting. Another alternative that works wonders are delicious sunflower seeds which we also carry.
