I can't believe chewing tobacco is still legal in baseball, or that anyone wants to put that crap in their mouths to begin with. Why go for a stinky dip with a picture of a fat bear on it when you can stuff this in your maw instead and save yourself the ugly jaw cancer?

Big League Chew, the pouch of shredded bubble gum we carried around in our fanny packs as kids, is probably the best gum ever. Catch me in a different mood and I might trump for Bubble Tape, but right now, it's all about BLC.

Everybody will be high-fiving you in this t-shirt, which pays homage to the gum originally developed in the late '70s by a class A pitcher to get ballplayers off the stinky chew.

You can pick up this fine cotton tee with the old school Outta Here Original logo (complete with white man's Jheri curl) from Homage for $28. Included with your purchase is a free pack of regular flavor Big League Chew. Nice.
