Look at these beauties! Brings me back to the days of sticking a massive amount of Big League Chew in my right cheek, going up to the plate, swinging at three pitches, and sitting my ass on the bench because I was terrified of the baseball:

These hats are going for $50, which feels steep, but if you’re thinking about pulling the trigger let me help with my top 5 power ranking:

#5 Slammin’ Strawberry

Hey you like to wear Phillies hats? How about a Phillies hat with a Big League Chew pin on it? Well here you go.

#4 Wild Pitch Watermelon

The guy wearing this hat is selling balloons two for $5 in a Camden parking lot before the Dave Matthews Band concert. Just riddled with bad tattoos and a chin strap. This hat just completes the look. He drives a 2001 Toyota Corolla and cashes his grandmother’s Social Security checks. He’s not unemployed; he’s an entrepreneur. I know you can picture exactly who I’m thinking about.

#3 Swingin’ Sour Apple

This is the nephew of Wild Pitch Watermelon dude. He fills the balloons because he’s not a salesman like his uncle. The only reason this is higher is because it has the classic ‘P’ on it. Someone’s going to try and pull this off with a powder blue jersey this season at CBP. Just know that guy enjoys a tab or two every couple of months. Because it’s going to be at the Dead & Company show on July 10th.


#2 Groundball Grape

This is how you do purple and green. Not only is Groundball Grape the best flavor of BLC, a groundball is what Aaron Nola would love to see once after the 5th inning. I love the ‘P’ in between the two stars accented by the white behind it. Also, the brim is the same color as the Phanatic. If you chewed on Groundball Grape you had great taste. This hat is no different.

#1 Outta Here Original

Easy winner. Doesn’t need the flash or the pizazz. Keeps to itself. Kind of like Bryce Harper. I’m a big pinstripe guy so that’s an added bonus. This is a hat you wear to Barclay Prime and they don’t even ask you to take it off. It is understood this is a hat of wealth and you get to order off menu because of it.

P.S. Did you ever want to know what the best flavor of Big League Chew is? I asked the creator Rob Nelson last year. It’s like Michael Jackson answering what his best song was or MJ telling you the best 90s Bulls team he played on:
