Ep. 29 - The Story of Big League Chew and a Lucky Lefty: with Rob Nelson

On this episode we are joined by the inventor of Big League Chew Bubble Gum, Mr. Rob Nelson. Rob takes us on a trip down memory lane, starting with his “Norman Rockwell-esque” childhood growing up on Long Island. We learn about some of his favorite players, like Whitey Ford and Bob Gibson and how he got to compete for the 1964 Senior Little League World Series in front of 12,000 fans. We also get an inside look at his playing days with the Portland Mavericks and learn how the concept for Big League Chew all started. It’s an amazing story with humbled beginnings. And if you stick around until the end, you’ll find out the secret to winning every future bubble gum blowing competition you’ll ever have.
